+the thing is that defaulting to --buildrequires is not intuitive, ok, it's 
+what you mostly use, but not what you expect if you're using urpmi.
+
+imho if you wanted the buildrequires; you'd exactly do that.
+
+i imagine this also changes that in GUI and you're installing .src.rpm, it 
+should NOT ask for superuser credentials... because it's not needed and 
+definately not what you want.
+
+is this behavior changed recently, or was it always like this?
