False positives, possibly tripped up by non-obvious use of RPM macros:

...
Requires: extremetuxracer-common = %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}-%{release}
...

...
%if %{with splitpackage}
Requires: ufraw-common = %{?epoch:%{epoch}:}%{version}-%{release}
...
%files %{?spkg:common} -f %{name}.lang
%defattr(-, root, root, -)
%doc COPYING README
...

Did you check spec files or generated binary RPMs? I guess checking the
latter would avoid most of the false positives.
