The "usual" solution for this, is to give a package a -source subpackage, which contains the extracted sources (and installs them under /usr/src So I think the best way to handle this is to package gluegen, and include gluegen's sources as a gluegen-source subpackage, and then make jogl BuildRequire gluegen-source.
