Indeed - I wasn't trying to write a detailled spec :-) Anyway, it turns out mach does this. Whenever you start a build, it does and rpm -qa within the chroot environment, compares this to a 'snapshot' list of packages it thinks should be there, and performs the relevant package removals or additions to bring it back into line. Or you can just 'mach clean; mach setup build' which makes a completely fresh buildroot.
