Sorry, but I found evidence of the opposite.  In August 1998 I made
a package where I put in the spec file:

  NoSource: 1, 2, 3

And this really worked, as I just compared the src.rpm and nosrc.rpm
files that I both saved and the 3 source files are really not included!
It is an RPM v3 package, according to "file".

For anyone wondering what package this was: it was "xanim" where I
made a private version with these 3 binary files included:

  Source1: ftp://xanim.va.pubnix.com/modules/xa1.0_cyuv_linuxELF.o.Z
  Source2: ftp://xanim.va.pubnix.com/modules/xa2.0_cvid_linuxELF.o.Z
  Source3: ftp://xanim.va.pubnix.com/modules/xa2.0_iv32_linuxELF.o.Z

;-)
