What is "anything that is out of the ordinary"? Where does it start?
Where does it stop? You could call some BuildRequires "out of the
ordinary", too, but a packager might consider them as ordinary.
It's very simple. You use your own judgement. When in doubt, add a
comment. If there is ever any disagreement between packager and
reviewer, the default is to add a comment.
