I'm wondering about that "split".
I understand and support the shared library policy for most cases but I don't support it in this case.
The package now consists of mozilla-nspr libnspr4 subpackages where mozilla-nspr only contains README.SuSE (which I have yet to see) and libnspr4 which contains three shared libraries with different names and without SO-versioning.
The libraries seem to be versioned using a suffix in the name. But the mozilla-nspr package should be dropped and ...
If it's really mandatory that the package name is libnspr4 (while libnspr4.so is only one of the three libs) then please just do a package rename.
... as it is this should indeed have been a simple package rename. Also the name is confusing (it isn't a proper shlib package), so mozilla-nspr4 would have been my choice (if the goal is to be able to install mozilla-nspr5 or whatever version in parallel).
