Hi,
It is a general question actually, but what is the recommended approach when one is packaging more then one source package? I have a main package with its' source file and then small source packages that would enhance the main package and some of them have different licenses in relation to the main source. These small packages do need the main package as otherwise they are useless.
As a genera rule of thumb: Do the same as upstream does: if it's different tarballs, that means it's different packages. Mind we did have exactly that situation in Xorg packages for a while: one 'package' with a gazillion or tarballs, spitting out a gaziliion of RPMs. Maintenance of such a beast is incredible and it becomes really difficult to see what packages had updates. Submitting X packages is much less hassle in the long run.
