That's interesting idea. I only worry there could be cases when the
perl-generators were unnecessarily installed. E.g. you install vim-enhanced,
thus you have perl-libs, and you install rpm-build for building non-perl
packages. Then you will have perl-generators. I'm not sure how much it
would bother people.
One more issue. It would not work if you had a spec file that does not need
a perl for building. Spec that only installs a perl script into /usr/bin.
I know there are some.
True, but those few cases could be fixed by adding BR: perl-generators
as per the original plan - it would save having to change thousands of
specs for this purpose (though they would need changing for version
normalization anyway at some point if that's going ahead).
