Personally I do think it's too much as this stuff is relatively rarely needed
anyway, but let's see if folks on fedora-extras-list have differing opinions. 
There's also the same stuff for filtering spurious perl(...) autodependencies,
but luckily that's even more rare.

Some nitpickery about the suggested boilerplate:

> cat <<XXX > %{name}-prov

This should be "... << \XXX ..." (note the backslash) to prevent too early shell
variable expansion (such as with "$*" below).  And EOF sounds better than XXX to me.

> #!/bin/sh
> %{__perl_provides} $* | sed -e '/perl(unwanted_provide)/d'

No sed in perl packages, for god's sake! :)  I'd personally use grep -v.

> XXX
> %define __perl_provides %{_builddir}/%{name}-%{version}/%{name}-prov

%{name}-%{version} practically never works for perl module packages in this
context, but needs to be Foo-Bar-%{version}.
