I'm not entirely sure of the SOP to apply fabfile changes across our
infrastructure, either. Is there a simple "push this fabfile change
everywhere" command for gitbuilder?

In the long term we'll want to get to a point where we're building
Ceph's RPM packages using mock [1] instead of rpmbuild so that mock can
resolve these sort of things automatically without having to deal with
installing new BuildRequires by hand.
