pip requirements file

[Ethan Furman]

   pip freeze

will output a list of current packages and their requirements.  I have one package that falsely [1] lists another 
package as a requirement, which was blocking installation as the false requirement wasn't available.

Is there a way to modify that output (which would be piped to, for example, requirements.txt) to have

   pip install -r requirements.txt

so pip ignores that one (and only that one) dependency?

[1] For the curious, the package is ZSA, and it list PyXML even though one of its modules says it was created 
specifically so PyXML is no longer needed -- and none of the modules import PyXML anywhere.
