First, thanks for your input. This is very useful information for us. Next,
I would like to ask if it was ok to put all the functionality about
build-testing and building itself into just a single package:
copr-rpmbuild. I think having things on just one place can help us focus on
doing them really well and as the copr-rpmbuild tool is already responsible
for building, I think it would be a perfect place to add additional
build-debugging functionality like printing-out/dumping mock configs,
enablement to run just a part of the build process, possibility to enter
the build environment interactively etc. Would this be alright?

Thank you again for your feedback
Michal
