The Perl packaging guidelines are big on the need to filter provides

I'm reviewing some Perl packages which don't do this. Furthermore I
grabbed 10 approved Perl specfiles from CVS and only 2 of them
(perl-Catalyst-Plugin-Static-Simple and perl-Class-MOP) actually did
it.
So is this packaging requirement real?
It is real if the perl package you're working on picks up some false
Provides and/or Requires. :)
