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.)
