I haven't followed all of the conversation, but the most obvious question: What's the rational of splitting up in two packages when package a requires b to work and b requires a to work?
arch versus noarch? upstream package scheme?
sure :) valid reasons (I said I did not follow it all). arch vs non-arch though I would only consider if the space actually makes sense (are we talking MBytes or Bytes) Upsteram scheme i s obviously broken if they depend on each other circular... luckily not for building...
In fact TeXLive 2012 for openSUSE follows the upstream package layout. And even before the binary packages had been split from the noarch packages as the later one are only repacked and not compiled.
Following upstream layouts is a good thing! No objections there. Many advantages clearly outweigh some minor hickups here and there. And as the split is rather new, the best is to just let you know of the hickups and not to try to 'workaround them' in other spec files.. you're doing a good job on that and as we all see, you're well responsive on the issues reported! That's what is often lacking, but not in this case!
