openmotif is in x11 section and lesstif is in libs section. I think lesstif 
should
go to X11 section too.
lesstif does not content CONFLICTS file (conflicts openmmotif). May I correct 
it ?

I think both provides motif is good.

What about change all GenericDependences
http://wiki.sourcemage.org/index.php?page=GenericDependences to capitals.
We should prefer spell names in lowercases and generic dependences in 
capitals,
IMHO.
So, better is "provides MOTIF".

"requires" is deprecated in devel sorcery:
depends = requires + depends
optional_depends = optional_depends + "optional_requires"

So, we could know by name if it is a spell name or generic dependence.
