Hello,
There is a review for gwyddion submitted by David Necas, it is his
first package:

[snip]
Currently David put the modules in the libs subpackage (together with the
gwyddion libs), below %{_libdir}/%{name}, without having the subpackage
requires the interpreters (python, perl and ruby). His reasoning is
that they are available, and a user has to have the interpreter available
anyway, so no need to Requires them. Nothing shows that the modules are in
this subpackage, and users have to set set some path explicitely, but
for him having those bits a bit hard to use it is not an issue since it
is associated with a deprecated interface.
I disagree, and tend to think that these modules should be packaged as
far as possible like usual modules, each in a subpackage with a dependency
on the interpreter.
I don't have a clear opinion on this, could you have one?
It would make sense (to me, anyway) to have the deprecated modules
packaged like normal, as you suggested, but perhaps with an ifdef.
Probably set them to be built by default for now?
