Is there a reason why the required modules of a perl script are not
encoded in the Requires of a package?
In the example below I would expect a Requires: perl(Data::Dumper) to be
included in inst-source-utils to pull in all required packages to actually run
the script.

The reason is that such requires are *very* often just plain wrong. You
can have modules, and you can have code like this:

eval {
  require "Nowaythisisreal";
  $somethingveryfishy=1;
}
