There is no change in policy. It's a bug in rpm.

It's simply that the current namazu-package contains these perl scripts:

... which causes something underneath of rpmbuild to add bogus
Requires: perl(...)
in cases scripts inside of this package uses them.

This bug in rpmbuild has been present for quite a while.

ATM, the only way to work around this issue is to explicitly (manually)
filter these bogus Requires out.
