I had requested something similar once, but not exactly what you wrote (I 
assume, you refer to my request - if not, please ignore):

The request was to add all the provides parts, but the depends part only 
if one likes to (e.g. if one evaluates the stability of linking more 
important than an easy build path for upgrades) - but even that got 
rejected.

So in essence: Already *adding* the metadata is not accepted. Even if it's 
not intended to use it thoroughly in packages.

regards,
Erich
