I was more worried about these races: If you first add BuildRequies and then
the new package, there will be a window when the packages won't resolve build
dependencies. If you first add the new package and then the BuildRequiers,
then there will a window when the packages will fail to build.

This race can be solved by two separate changes in systemtap: First add the
new package and run-require it from systemtap-sdt-devel. Then add
the BuildRequires. And finally remove the run-time dependency from
systemtap-sdt-devel.
