I agree with Ralf, and have a suggestion for how to do this:

Have the perl-Spiffy package (which is presumably a buildreq of the problematic
packages) provide a custom perl "requires" script (perhaps as simple as an
expansion of "%{__perl_requires} "$@" | sed -e 's/^perl(mixin)/perl(Spiffy)/'")
and ship it with the perl-Spiffy package as /usr/lib/rpm/perl-Spiffy.req. Then,
in each dependent package, simply add the line:

%define __perl_requires /usr/lib/rpm/perl-Spiffy.req

That's not too hard, is it?
