Does any dependency generation we use currently (i.e. Perl or even just the plain C/C++ stuff) do anything for build dependencies? I'm pretty sure they don't.
Java dependency generator [1] does generate build-requires during build. (Yes, this means that you need to run a successful build to get them generated, but thanks to mock pm_request plugin [2] you can run initial local build without specifying BuildRequires.)
