I just automatically add it to every package - as you say, no harm.

Me either. The guidelines state that %{__python} is acceptable, so presumably
%{__perl} is too. But in either case, we've got a lot of work if the binaries
are moved or renamed.

That's good to know. Another anachronism that can be dropped.

Interesting thought. And as a soon-to-be-core module, there's a better than
normal chance that the extra tests will continue to work in future. My only
concern would be introducing circular dependencies - but a quick repoquery
doesn't show anything too worrying. I guess I'll go ahead and do it.

Thanks for the review.
