[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: drop rpmlib() poisoning from --short-circuit'ed binaries (Issue #3091)

[Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek]

I think we just see this a bit differently… I don't think it's "encouraging" to allow something to be done via an explicit option. The reason why I'd prefer to have no marking at all is that personally, most commonly I use short-circuit to do repeat builds while tweaking either the %install or %files sections or the Provies/Obsoletes/Conflicts sections and compare the results using `rpmdiff` and `diffoscope`. Injection of the marking is going to show up in those listings. Obviously it can be filtered out or ignored, but it's always an additional step to take, and it's be just more convenient to not have to do that. 
(Obviously, just a "watermark" is much better than the previous state where the rpms were not installable without `--nodeps`, making them unusable for many tests.)
