From a brief reading of the thread, the one item that popped up that
would be nice to figure out a solution for is in:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-July/msg01553.html

Have a way to disable certain provides or requires that show up
automatically via a filter mechanism.

I know this is a constant source of pain for me especially w/ perl
scripts.  (Yes I know I could hack on the perldeps helper.. but I'm not
convinced thats worth the pain...)
