upstream source is a source rpm!



I have an upstream source who did not put his source in a tarball, and then 
put the tarball in a source rpm, (as would be usual in the rpm world). 
Instead, he put his source files directly in the source .rpm file!

I can unpack this thingy with:
rpm2cpio source.rpm | cpio -i

But I have questions:

Assuming I have the url of the source rpm, how would one write the watch file 
and get-orig-source: in rules to create a proper .ds tarball?

Do I need to put rpm2cpio and cpio in Build-depends: ? Do I need to note this 
dependancy anywhere?

Thank You.
