When I split the mail-notification plugin into a main package and a subpackage I used something else which maybe could help here as well: in the new mail-notification-evo-plugin I obsoleted the older mail-notification package (e.g. the one with the EVR before the split) and required the new main mail-notification package to be higher then that EVR (rough explanation, but I suppose you'll get the idea). That way I didn't need any Conflicts and users that had the not-yet-split package installed always got the both packages (including the one that was split off) during a yum upgrade.
