It is no news that in recent years some people have pushed their own

Rest assured, they do care, because added/removed BuildRequires might
enable/disable features, change behavior due to using different 
backend libs, affect the look and feel or cause regression (such as
when building with gtk3 instead of gtk2 or vice versa).

As the packager, you use the %changelog to tell how you've changed
