IMO test requirements != build req != runtime req.

It is perfectly valid to use virtualenv and pip to enable using the
latest and graetest testing tools, but those should __only__ be used
in a testing environment. Those should not be used in a build
environment which is designed to be reproducible and hence is
typically devoid of network access.
Deploy requirements should be tested, but by their nature those tests
need to run post-build and hence are better left to integration tests
like ovirt-system-tests.
