Which is the reason, why tools like mock build the first src.rpm
with -bs --nodeps, ... but this has been changed more than a year

Sure, but that doesn't help much if the buildsys needs to create a
src.rpm from just the spec file. Since the spec file's BuildRequires
become the src.rpm's Requires, it's a chicken-and-egg problem.
