Right. In particular, it happens if the package containing the library 
libfoo.so.1 also contains an executable or another library linked to 
libfoo.so.1. Then RPM will produce both an AutoProvides and an AutoRequires 
for the library. This is not strictly necessary, but harmless (and 
technically correct). You could use the AutoRequires filtering to filter out 
the unnecessary Requires, but I would not bother doing that, as the Requires 
is technically correct and causes no issues, so filtering it out would just 
be a waste of your time.
