Would it make sense for a source rpm to have a generated 'Provides:' for any
%package defined within the spec?
For example (actual syntax to be determined by folks smarter than myself):
$ rpm -qp --provides man-db-2.8.4-4.fc30.src.rpm
rpmbuild(man-db)
rpmbuild(man-db-cron)
$
I'd expect it to 'provide' all the %packages (even ones masked for your
specific arch so that we don't deal with executing macros at query and
whatnot).
```
The actual syntax would likely be different but the request is perfectly
reasonable: we store the dependencies and all sorts of other information of
that particular build into the src.rpm as it is, why not include the generated
packages too (which can also vary a lot between builds).
