If you want to remove every provide that could be generated by a file use
%filter_provide_in.to filter out that provide.  If you want to filter
a specific provide/set of provides then use %filter_from_provides.

Yep, that's the case.  If the extraneous provides are causing no known bugs
to occur, just leave them for now.  At some point, someone needs to look at
adapting rpm to be able to handle these things itself but I don't think
anyone is working on that at the moment.
