Additional remark about python subpackage: The -python subpackage should not depend on the base package or any other packages because it is a pure python implementation. It requires nothing but itself to run, but still requires protobuf-compiler for development. May be it is a good idea to split the protobuf SRPM into to SRPMS: protobuf and python-protobuf. The first one will contain everything except python subpackage, and the latter will contain only python part and will have BuildArch: noarch. Still I'm not sure it is a good idea, because these SRPMS will contain exactly the same sources.
I don't think it makes sense to have two SRPMS. Can't you just change the -python subpackage to not depend on the base package?
