In the best case, one could even be able to do "mock-or-a-mock-wrapper --create-scl-from-this-app-and-build-it-in-copr /path/to/my/app scl_name" (I admit that naming command line arguments isn't my strongest skill...)

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that, but yes, rebuilding for an SCL could
be very cool. The "How do we rebuild/repackage our dependencies?" was
actually one of the problems we ran into when considering using SCLs
rather than putting up with running in an older version of Python.
