You would have to rpmbuild -bs *.spec first to get blash.src.rpm.
It is done all by: fedpkg build --scratch --srpm

The problem is that it uploads the whole multi-MB .src.rpm which is too slow
on common ADSL lines (mine has 256kbit/s upload, some have 512kbit/s upload).

This is why I have to 'git diff' the changes to a server on backbone and run
fedpkg from there.  Which is no longer so much convenient / easy.
fedpkg could do some such diff against the repository state on its own
but that would sure needed also appropriate support on the Koji server side.
