+- disable automatic generation of RPM dependencies from files in collections
+  The files are not meant to be executed on the Ansible controller
+  (i.e. the machine where this package is being installed), but rather
+  on the targets that get modified. So e.g. python2 is not needed as
+  a dependency on the ansible controller
+- do no longer change shebangs in files from collections
