I agree that it's a silly MUST but the right the to do is to change the rule
rather than ignore it.
I would suggest the following:
Instead of:
- MUST: A package must not contain any BuildRequires that are listed in the
exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines.
- MUST: All other Build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires.
I'd have:
- MUST: All build dependencies must be listed in BuildRequires, except for any
that are listed in the exceptions section of Packaging Guidelines; inclusion of
those as BuildRequires is optional.
