If there is a mass rebuild (e.g. by Matt's buildsystem) before test2
it could be used to check whether that split really harms
anything. But I think perhaps that's us being to pedantic in this
case, and we could revisit it after F7.

But it wouldn't hurt to add a forward compatible

Provides: perl-devel = %{epoch}:%{version}-%{release}

That way any current package that should depend on perl-devel instead
of or in addition to perl would have a transition time to fix the BRs.
