To follow up on this one: dependency extraction for perl modules is just 
plain broken in the alpha due to a dumb thinko/typo kind of thing. 
Additionally there's an unforeseen interaction with 'rpmdeps' use (which 
the filtering macros rely on) which causes some further breakage in some 
cases, including this.

Both are easy enough to fix though, I'll push an updated snapshot in a day 
or two.
