Please bear in mind when fixing filters that some packagers may wish to
keep their spec files EPEL-compatible; filters based on
__perl_provides/__perl_requires can be retained harmlessly if filters
based on __requires_exclude/__provides_exclude are added since rpm prior
to 4.9 ignores that latter and rpm 4.9 onwards effectively ignores the
former.
Anyone that's stripped out buildroot definition/cleaning and/or defattr
lines won't be concerned about EPEL compatibility though (at least not
EPEL < 6).
