Jeff, I really need your assistance here as I'm unable to figure out
in the sources how to actually implement this. I do not well enough
understand the internal processings.

It's fine for me if the actual implementation is still under
#ifdef/#endif for OpenPKG (in case you personally dislike the idea), but
I really have to come up with a solution for this as this feature is a
very long-standing shortcoming we are faced with since years and hence I
really would appreciate to still resolve this for 5.0.

So, can you help out, Jeff? What do I have to patch to get the
"BuildRequire" tags from the .spec to be available via the query
variables BUILDREQUIRENAME/BUILDREQUIREFLAGS/BUILDREQUIREVERSION from
the *binary* RPM and the *installed* package?
