Are we? scrub is needed if and only if you want to pass a special
algorithm to virStorageVolWipePattern(). Does that justify a runtime
dependency? We fail gracefully if scrub isn't installed. We aren't even
requiring qemu binary for daemon-driver-qemu package.
Wasn't the whole idea to drop dependencies?
The point was to drop **build** dependencies, specifically
problematic ones such as ZFS. When it comes to runtime dependencies,
our RPMs generally try to be as featureful as possible, so adding a
dependency on scrub is the right thing to do IMO.
