npm currently has broken dependencies in EPEL 6 because of what

Ordinarily I'd unpush that update but I'd rather wait for rel-eng's
advice since something strange seems to have gone wrong here.

Hi T.C.
What was the outcome of this.
I just barely noticed that none of my el6 nodejs packages have a
  Provides: npm(<package>)
The same packages have the proper provides on all Fedora packages.
I looked through the nodejs packaging guidelines [0] and it says

"The nodejs package includes an automatic Requires and Provides generator that automatically adds versioned dependencies based on the information provided in a module's package.json file.

It also adds virtual provides in the form npm(<module name>) to identify modules listed in the npm registry (the module is listed at npmjs.org) ... "

Can we either get things fixed in EL6 (my preference) or update the documentation.

Thanks
Troy
p.s. I tried rebuilding with no changes to the spec file, and things are still broken.
