Yes, please! If we got this working, it'd also be useful in other cases.
And the good thing is that it would be self-contained within koji:
koji picks some builder, and we just tweak the rules of how that builder
is picked. This wouldn't "leak" into other layers.

The alternative of modifying hundreds of packages is much worse.

As already written in the other replies, this is already possible to some
extent and is not much of a problem.
