Going through this a few more times as I work on some bits inside

We're given an srpm - we don't know where it was made, on what arch,
nothing - so we cannot trust the buildreqs it provides.
If we're inside the chroot and on the arch we want to build on then
running:
rpm -Uvh /path/to/our/srpm
rpmbuild -bs --nodeps /path/to/the/generated/spec
should result in a srpm for us that will have valid build reqs.
So that if we grab the requires from that srpm we'll have a pretty good
idea of what we'll need to install to build the package.
is that correct/accurate/etc?
Yes, that should work. Nice idea...
