Adding

And there is loss of functionality if/when %_use_internal_dependency_generator is used
for any package, as dependencies are not attached to files.
The mechanism was intended to to assist bootstrapping multilib, not for serious packaging usage.
So how do you override bogus auto-generated dependencies? For perl
modules, it is not practical to have to patch out bits of code that
won't be called on a particular platform just to avoid invalid
dependencies.
Override %__perl_requires and filter as before.
I suggested a "NoRequires:" for RPM a while back but got shot down.
AFAIK the only way to do it today is to use the above %define and filter
things out.
Adding syntax to *.spec creates instant legacy problems building with older versions of rpm.
