But rulex-data is a separate package and librulexdb2 doesn't strictly
depend on it, though recommends.

But in any case it would be necessary to run foreign executable to
generate the database file during package building, that in turn would
require additional foreign architecture emulation means, like qemu, for
instance, thus, build dependencies complication. Or I miss something?
