How do you extract the BRs?  Are you doing it on the host machine,
which could have an ancient rpm, or ancient tools that are needed for
macro expansion?  Do you have an Everything install on it, or at least
every piece of software you could expect to run across in a macro?
What about new languages that aren't built for the machine you're doing
the BR extraction from?

Where does the srpm come from?  Koji works from cvs tags to ensure that
what you build is actually what came from CVS, so you have to construct
the srpm out of the spec and sources (and oh yeah, sources come from
the lookaside, no trojan sources in random srpm tossed in)
