Looks like the dependency generator was turned on in rawhide. Igor has been
making pull releases against packages because this is now creating
duplicate requires for some packages. That would seem reasonable, but he
never pushed the dependency generator to EPEL so packages which maintain a
common spec file across branches require additional logic and it's creating
more work instead of less work. The python-rpm-generators package doesn't
even exist in EPEL. I started looking at what it would take to make it
available, but the script that's used has no documentation and no tests.

I recommend we revert this to opt-in until a couple loose ends are tied up:
 - Tests and a readme file are created for python-rpm-generators
 - The functionality is made available in EPEL6 and EPEL7 (opt-in ok)
(Requires python-rpm-generators RPM)
