"AutoReq: 0" (which you say you "used to use") in the spec disables all
automatic dependency extraction. If you want more fine-grained operation,
either
a) don't package the file(s) that brings in the unwanted dependencies
b) remove executable bit from the file(s) that have the unwanted
dependencies, rpm only extracts dependencies of files with executable
bit set
c) use custom find-requires script to filter the results
