Yeah, library provides are excluded on purpose in the proprietary driver
packages, to avoid any "unrelated" packages to depend on them.

Not sure if libcuda.so.1 should be an exception or not, it is again
quite a special case...

In any case, nvidia-cuda-toolkit already contains:
%define _requires_exceptions libcuda.so.1\\|python(abi)

My first guess would be that it doesn't work since it is in the middle
of the package definition, and it should be either moved to the
beginning of the .spec file or made %global. Alternatively something has
been broken in rpm-mageia-setup-build.
