Fedora also uses the full libva.

However, the chicken-and-egg circular dependency is broken by history
for these distros.

Koji and Mock build one package at a time with all their dependencies
already available from the staging package repository and the results
will be eventually uploaded to the same repository.

Bitbake doesn't have have this loophole to download pre-built dependencies.
