I think that it is only the unit interface that matters.  Roughly,
it is like md5sum for *.h header file in C.  If you touch anything
(except for comments and whitespaces), it is going to change.

Let's see how fpc.req works.

$ ppudump -vhim /usr/lib64/fpc/units/x86_64-linux/rtl/video.ppu |grep 'Uses unit'
Uses unit: System (Crc: FD1DCAB2, IntfcCrc: C9BB6DA6)
Uses unit: BaseUnix (Crc: 28B09EAB, IntfcCrc: 4154D53F)
Uses unit: termio (Crc: 0E166AC3, IntfcCrc: F4A7EF5D)
Uses unit: strings (Crc: CBE34EC8, IntfcCrc: 6C92FC9D)
Uses unit: linuxvcs (Crc: 672570A1, IntfcCrc: 74ABE23D)
$

$ /usr/lib/rpm/fpc.req <<</usr/lib64/fpc/units/x86_64-linux/rtl/video.ppu        
fpc(baseunix) = 78-4154D53F
fpc(linuxvcs) = 78-74ABE23D
fpc(strings) = 78-6C92FC9D
fpc(system) = 78-C9BB6DA6
fpc(termio) = 78-F4A7EF5D
$

So, fpc.req simply transforms 'Uses init' references into dependencies.
Note that interface checksum (IntfcCrc) is used, not full checksum (Crc);
the latter also includes implementation section.  So, if it is possible
to improve implementation without changeing the interface, the
dependency will not change.

Let's now examine fpc.prov with e.g. baseunix.

$ ppudump -vh /usr/lib64/fpc/units/x86_64-linux/rtl/baseunix.ppu

$ /usr/lib/rpm/fpc.prov <<</usr/lib64/fpc/units/x86_64-linux/rtl/baseunix.ppu
fpc(baseunix) = 78-4154D53F
$ 

So, now we see that video.ppu requires and baseunix.ppu provides
the same dependency, based on ppu interface checksum.
