From correspondence with people at MELPA, `Package-Requires' seems to be
required. And being present with an empty list tells human readers that
the package has no dependencies. (If absent, you don't get that explicit
info, and you might be wrong in assuming it.)

It should mean that the library in which it is found requires library
`fit-frame', and any version of `fit-frame' is sufficient. (Any real
version # is >= 0.)
Dunno what that syntax with 0 instead of "0" is. Is is supported?
Does it mean something different from ((fit-frame "0"))?
