Yeah, because we want those packages to be available as build dependencies.
So coprs are out (unless we allow pulling in coprs into the koji buildroot, which
I don't think we should.)

Instead of a separate maintained repo, I'd go for a "Requires" or "Provides"
tag on packages instead. This would be easier to implement (packagers could
just add this as any other Requires), and we could easily tweak dnf to emit
a warning or require a special option before those packages were installed on
the end user system.
