Looking ahead to that last step, how does the build system handle

BuildRequires statements that it must build and install the R-Matrix
package before it can try to build R-arm? (I couldn't find out how
Plague deals with dependencies from my search of the wiki.)
Sortof. mock builds a chroot with all of the BuildRequires (and the
Requires of those packages) installed, so if it is already built, it
will be pulled in. If a BuildRequire isn't built yet (aka, not in the
Fedora repository), that build will fail in the prep stage.
