--- Comment #56 from Michael Scherer <[email protected]> ---
If the pkgconfig is used in development context ( compiling, etc ), then
splitting files in a -devel rpm is IMHO the sane thing to do. If a normal usage
do not need aclocal or pkgconfig file, then they should be in a separate rpm (
especially if this permit to avoid pulling aclocal and pkgconfig ). But that's
not a big deal, no one complained about it for gnome ( but i guess the gnome
package predate the policy by a few years )

And why add a subpackage for stylsheets ? ( "gnome does this way" is not a
reason, that's just cargo cult programming, and while there is surely a good
reason, I think it should be know and see if this is still valid )

There is also some notes from comment 11, like %clean and %defattr no longer
needed. 

And since we are in a case of multiple licensing, there should be a comment
explaining what is gpl and what is lgpl :

( I wonder why there is lgpl in fact, but too late to check for me, sorry )
