[opensuse-packaging] Split licenses.rpm (based on 'Building packages with linking a license from licenses.rpm')

Moin,
After our discussion with JSrain we decided to write to packages with
just another issue about licenses.rpm.
The current RPM content size (unpacked) is quite big
du -sh /usr/share/doc/licenses/ -> 3.9 MB
This package-size is a bit disputable when talking about saving-space ;)
Actually it is because the package contains some very-rare licenses or
some obscure licenses used just for one package in our distribution.
The proposal is simple:
- Find out, which packages in a minimal installation use which licenses
and create licenses-base.rpm (for example) that would contain only
those important/used licenses.
- The rest could stay in licenses.rpm.
We'd save space for the minimal-installation and we'd still have all
licenses for 'the other cases'. BTW: I have to admit, that splitting-it
up was a jsrain's idea :) ;)
What do you think of that?
