The github repo says: „relx is a library used by rebar3“. Thus I'd keep the „erlang-“ prefix.

AFAIK: Like for Python, run-time dependencies of Erlang libraries need to be propagated. Erlang does not actually have a notion of „library“. It's more like Rust where all all dependent sources are expected to be available at build-time and then put into the „executable“. Basically this is statically linked, so only developers/package-builders are effected by this propagation.

    Would be great if some experienced Erlang developer would show up
    and show a solution without needing to propagate.
