spec file requires rpm-build... change requires dependent on os-release?

I'm building a spec file that requires /usr/bin/rpmbuild to be installed. Under Opensuse13.1 that is very simple: I just add this line in my spec file:

Requires: rpm-build

and this works nicely on Opensuse13.1

Yet When I try to build and install this package on opensuse12.1; this does not work, since the binary /usr/bin/rpmbuild is provided there by the package rpm and not by the package rpm-build.

How do I work around this problem? I didn't find a virtual package they both provide. Note that the package rpm also exists on opensuse13.1 and that rpm-build depends on it.
