What would be the point of link to comps when most of the dependencies
are defined by rpm-build package? Actually, the buildsys-build should
contain just rpm-build and nothing more (or it could be abandoned
entirely, since it would loose its purpose this way).

Moreover, if the buildsys-build contains components which are already
required by rpm-build, they should be cleaned up immediately. I am
speaking about bzip2, gzip, tar, xz, sed, patch, grep, gawk, findutils,
diffutils, cpio, bash, these are all duplicated.
