Because such packages have a two-dimensional evr (one for the kernel
and one for the module itself) and neither rpm, nor any higher
depsolver supports this (other than apt & lua).
But it's not a real problem, on ATrpms' archives you'll find
three-line recipes that effectively do what you want it to do.
