If our buildroots don't have it, then thats a serious failure (its in System Environment/Base).
Well, you'd still want it to get pulled in via a dep somehow. Right now that would be via initscripts, which may or may not be in the build dependency chain.
So basically, its not safe to assume any of System Environment/Base is installed?
Should all packages start having bash, coreutils, grep, etc, etc as BuildRequires: ?
There should be a stock list on the wiki somewhere; you can assume coreutils, gcc, make, etc., and whatever those pull in. Whether or not that means they'd pull in initscripts, I don't know.
coreutils requires pam, which requires initscripts. Kevin Bacon is in there somewhere too, but it means we don't need BuildRequires: redhat-release.
