Oh, I was wrong about the way it works.

The perl/etc. macro files were indeed included, but until recent changes
%__perl_{provides,requires} macros were redefined to %{nil} in macros.build.
Then manual inclusion of macros.perl etc. in .spec redefined %__perl_{provides,requires}
macros again to proper scripts.

After these commits:
e821f14cac60b7f9bf62abcbb848e114a92abc2f
cdc9189ebe27f76cf935f813eb75c89ec246604f
%__{perl,php,mono}_{provides,requires} macros are always defined to point to
actual scripts, so the manual inclusion of macros.{mono,perl,php} in specs is
obsolete since cdc9189ebe27f76cf935f813eb75c89ec246604f, first packaged as
rpm-pld-macros-build-1.744-3.

So it looks like after removal of manual provides the rpmbuild(macros) dependency
should be bumped to 1.745 (after version bump in rpm-pld-macros).


(if I haven't missed something... after "solving" 4 boxes of Ikea
puzzles I'm a bit tired)
