Omitting a BuildRequire during bootstrapping generally results in fewer tests
being run but the resulting binary package is exactly the same as it would have
been with the BuildRequire present.

On the other hand, omitting a run Require results in a different binary
package, and hence different buildroots for every package that is built using
the bootstrapped package. So you'd want to rebuild all of those packages too
post-bootstrap to make sure all their tests ran successfully, which would
potentially extend the bootstrap process quite significantly.

I think it might be worthwhile to disable the image comparison test:
