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.
