Commit 8818039f959b ("kbuild: add ability to make source rpm buildable
using koji") added the BuildRequires: field.
Checking the build dependency is fine, but one annoyance is that
'make (bin)rpm-pkg' fails on non-rpm systems [1]. For example, Debian
provides rpmbuild via 'apt install rpm', but of course cannot meet the
requirement listed in the BuildRequires: field.
It is possible to pass RPMOPTS=--nodeps to work around it, but it is
reasonable to do it automatically.
If 'rpm -q rpm' fails, it is not an RPM-managed system. (The command
'rpm' is not installed at all, or was installed by other means.)
In that case, pass --nodeps to skip the build dependency check.
