Is it a problem for a package to pull from two different

Source0:http://server.com/package1/package1.tar
Source1:http://server.com/package2/package2.tar

Then I would, by hand, untar Source1 into Source0 directory.

That's fairly common. I don't particularly like it, but if it's the way upstream ships things, there isn't much choice.

If this is kosher, are there any examples of other
packages doing this...

glibc did that until Fedora 20. We eventually split out the files in the tarball into individual source files, which was easy enough in our case (and the files were Fedora-specific anyway).

Thanks,
