EPEL itself does, but adding the build requires means that you'll get a dependency error if they're missing, rather than the cryptic "fg: job control not found" error that bash reports when RPM lets an unknown macro through to the shell. It also means that you just need to have EPEL enabled for a build to work, rather than making assumptions about the buildroot configuration.
