> I agree with Frank. We should consider to include proj-epsg in the requirements list of proj (and maybe drop a note to upstream Fedora about this).

yes, we often have this problem that proj-epsg (and sometimes
proj-nad) are actually required.

Are there any good reason to keep proj-epsg separated at all?
I guess the idea is to be able to update the EPSG list independently
but in the end we will always rebuild the whole package (or we should
maintain a completely separate package like tzdata for java, which
provides timezone information; but I don't think that it is worth the
effort)

What about epsg-nad?
Should it also always be included?
It is not really clear to me what it is for...
