Well you assume that buildep is only used to build packages. But if
you want to build the upstream source of a package for any reason
having a command that installs required packages is handy.

For instance if I want to build "foo" to write / test a patch I do
"yum-builddep foo" "jhbuild buildone foo" ... I have the code, can
hack on it, can build it without messing with deps and do not have to
build a package (development does not always mean "packing").
