In this case, the included scripts under %_docdir are not marked as executable;
Ralf's comment that bits under %_docdir shouldn't be scanned for dep tracking
is with merit, methinks.

The real issue here is that this change in behaviour has potential implications
for dep/req generation for all packages in Fedora with anything under %_docdir
that was previously not scanned.

I would think a good resolution for this would either be:

1) revert to the prior behaviour; or
2) allow certain directories to be easily excluded from autodep/prov, and
default %_docdir to being excluded.

Personally, I'd prefer #2 :)
