IMO, these are

I think,
1. The "<lib>.so provides" should be tied to "ld.so's library
search
path"
2. The "perl() provides" (BZ 224569) should be tied to Perl's "module
search-path".
3. BZ 224571 sounds like a bug in rpm's perl-reqprov filtering (Which is
known to be pretty underdeveloped/immature and to quite frequently
generate bogus/missing provide/requires)
I know, many people will disagree, but IMO, 1+2 would not be an issue if
rpm was using absolute filenames to DSO's/modules instead of virtual
provides.
So, how does this list like the idea of adding a bulletpoint for
"sane provides" to the package review guidelines ?
Could you elaborate? I
don't understand.
