THe CPANTS test suite makes use of Module::ExtractUse which seems to do a
pretty good job (at least on the modules I maintain it appears accurate). The
CPANTS results also suggest that on the order of 1/3 of all modules have
missing PreReqs declared in their META.yml/Makefile.PL vs their actual use. So,
IMHO it'd be worth making use of module like this to extract usage. 

Perhaps if this detected modules not declared in the META.yml, it could add the
BR to the RPM spec, along with a comment informing the packager that they
should double check this module usage manually.
