Maybe? I noted in my final paragraph that Fedora has a mechanism for
this that we don't, but perhaps Provides is sufficient.

I omitted this from the policy side, because it seems like this is
already answered in ftp-master practice. Provided the vendored copy is
not used during the build and unless there is a *different* reason for
repacking with Files-Excluded, then I see no reason to remove it.
