vdsm ships a sos plugin for collecting logs useful for debug issues. Here
the dependency on sos is needed for ensuring the directory tree owned by
sos is in place for installing the plugin.
Also, ovirt-log-collector assumes sos is installed on the hosts.
Yes, sos is still useful, I often ask users to provide a sos report in
order to understand what's going wrong.
