Yes that is essentially what my program does (just using a graph library).
(But I don't think tsort can determine reverse deps etc - but it could be
scripted too sure.)
I should test some larger package sets to see how well rpmbuild-order
scales too...

More important than build ordering is scheduling a set of builds

That's correct, and I want to do ordered parallel builds over such
dependency graphs.
