Well...thinking about it a bit more, it's just a *different* problem, I
guess. We'd need a somewhat different script: it would keep the bit for
reading the packagereq entries from comps, but instead of poking dnf
repos for current packages, it would have to be able to understand what
binary packages the source package in question would produce *before*
the change, and what binary packages it would produce *after* the
change.

That seems easy, but isn't entirely, because you can have stuff like a
%ifarch that produces a given subpackage on some arches but others.
It's another Will Woods Problem, of rpm specs being able to do an awful
lot of stuff that isn't terribly easy to interpret without actually
going through the process of building the package.

I suppose if we wind up having CI which actually runs a package build
for every prospective change to a package, this wouldn't be too
difficult, as we could just read out the subpackages...but yeah, I'd
say it's kind of a *different* thing, anyway.
