The internal dep generator adds some other things besides the coloring: file classes and per-file dependency information that the external one cannot do, but that extra info is not really used by anything (at least in part because its not available everywhere).
rpmlint >= 0.86 does use file classes. But it falls back to finding that stuff out itself if it's not available in package headers (python-magic is required for that).
