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?
