+perl: disable auto requires
+
+When generating automatic requirements, it's possible for perl scripts to
+declare 'optional' dependencies.  These seem to often be incorrect and will
+cause installation failures in OE.  Instead of fixing the perl scripts, it
+was decided it is better to simply disable the automatic dependency
+generation.  This matches the behavior from the previous RPM5 implementation.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [OE specific configuration]
