Just for completeness: --nodeps *can* be specified with rpmbuild, but
then it means that the build requirements (BuildRequires header lines)
should be ignored. In most cases not very useful, except when you
only want to build a source rpm (rpmbuild -bs).
Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't aware of this, but it makes sense
in retrospect.
