>builddep can be passed a spec file or srpm as well, unfortunately it seems to
choke if passed the kernel.spec.template, so we would need a processed
template into a proper spec.

hehe :)  Yeah, the double-percent issue.  I ran into that too :)

@dzickusrh had an objection to running the install from within the
makefile.  I tend to lean towards his viewpoint; let the user make a
decision if they want to install the packages or not.  Let's just output a
list of the packages and let the user decide what they need to do.  It's
also possible (see system-sb-certs) that a package may not exist on the OS.

I'm planning on calling setup-source, just like dist-buildreq-check does
today.  There's still a small problem that I'm worried about: The
setup-source target may require packages to be installed as well, and if
tell people to execute a target that calls setup-source we may end up a
catch-22.  AFAICT setup-source only seems to call bash and simple commands
so maybe it's not a problem.

Additionally, I need to think about how to test this target.  That's a bit
tricky and I'll need @veruu and the CKI team's help in setting up a test.
I need a "plain" builder_image without any dependencies installed.  The
first test to run would be to confirm a, for example, 'make dist-srpm'
failure.  The second test, would be to call the new dist-* target to
list the dependencies, install the dependencies, and then run 'make
dist-srpm' to confirm that the new dist-* target worked.

^^^ I suspect that @veruu and the CKI team are laughing at me for not
knowing how easy this is to do :) :) but I'm not overly familiar with
CI and will need a bit of hand-holding the first time I add a test like
this.
