"AutoReq: 0" (which you say you "used to use") in the spec disables all 
automatic dependency extraction. If you want more fine-grained operation, 
either
a) don't package the file(s) that brings in the unwanted dependencies
b) remove executable bit from the file(s) that have the unwanted
    dependencies, rpm only extracts dependencies of files with executable
    bit set
c) use custom find-requires script to filter the results
