AFAICT, those "broken deps in rawhide" mails are only sent if there is a compose, and during the past weeks, there have been few of those ... so breakage is sometimes allowed to sit unnoticed (and grow increasingly worse) for very long. This is why I would be strongly in favor of adding something like "Packagers MUST NOT use globs in %files lists that cover up sonames of shared libraries in %{_libdir}" to the Packaging Guidelines.
