build_requires does not imply that the module is required after build. some installers even
give you an option to not install them after they're used. In the case of automating building
RPMs, I only need Test::Exception to build DBIC, not install it. So depending on other modules
to get your dependencies falls apart for that.
Honestly it's my feel that if the module needs it for build or regular use, there's alot of value
to explicitly stating that in your makefile/meta
