The build system does not need it but Anaconda can get in trouble.
We've been adding Requires(post{,un}) to rm and ls to several packages
because of Anaconda.
More accurately, it's needed to get proper ordering in any case of
building a new chroot. This doesn't get hit with initializing build
roots due to the fact that they're (currently) done by "install minimal
system, then build deps". This could change at a point in the future.
But yes, the requirements for things in coreutils must be explicitly
specified, just like anything else.
