i have the same "problem" with dspam and pdns. but i dont think it is
this hard:

http://zen.sh.nu/~darix/dspam.spec
http://zen.sh.nu/~darix/pdns.spec

i simply moved all backends, that require new libraries, into subpackages.
For dspam i solved it with some virtual provides/requires. in case of
pdns it has some working backends in the main package.

shouldnt the same work for you aswell?
