OK, as I wrote, I did not check the package.

So this really does not use the big hammer approach ;-)

Maybe it was just "let's mirror the provides_exclude in the 
requires_exclude"?

I would try it: remove the __requires_exclude_from, build and check what 
additional requires it brings in and if it can still be installed. Maybe 
that's already enough to pull most of the dependencies in.

My experience is, that this manual tweaking is always a bit trial- and 
error (or, as I like to call the process, "experimental information 
science" ;-))

Good luck,
