The problem is that the mandatory functionality (SysV-style initscripts
compliant to our guidelines) gets pushed to a subpackage to make room for
the optional and completely unneccessary junk, and that in some cases yum
prefers the nonstandard subpackages.
Plus, he's also violating other guidelines, e.g. for this package:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=176308
Version contains a SVN revision tag which MUST be in Release instead
according to our guidelines. (Thanks to Chen Lei for pointing that out.)
(And look at the mess that nonstandard versioning made to the bumping tool
spot used, see the insane Release values it produced. We have versioning
rules for a reason.)

I found that spot disable building static libs in his package two days
ago, but he reenable yesterday, I really don't know why.
