One theoretical point worth noting: 
 
Even though providing perl(DBD::Pg) in this package is correct, one could 
argue that packages in general should not have manually added dependencies on 
perl(DBD::*) in their specfiles. 
 
In the vast majority of use cases, the DBD::* drivers are not explicitly 
loaded in Perl code, but DBI loads the appropriate driver based on the data 
source given in connect().  Therefore, manually adding dependencies on 
perl(DBD::*) is kind of hardcoding assumptions about DBI's internals into 
specfiles, and in that sense, using the corresponding perl-DBD-* package names 
in dependencies wouldn't be that bad an alternative.
