Only if you don't have rpm-*perlprov package. And it still wouldn't work
even if you had that include, since it's just a bunch of macros from
rpm-build package. Macros, that have been loaded automagically since $YEARS.

I believe that the P/O I added to new packages should be enough, but if
you think we need some more, please fell free to add them.

Dependency generation has nothing to do with macros, but all with
rpm-*prov packages. Even if you "skip" loading macros but you have the
generator package you'll have deps generated.
