Awesome question. Here are the list of binaries that we install with
each RPM:

$ rpm -ql postgresql95|grep bin
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/clusterdb
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/createdb
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/createlang
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/createuser
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/dropdb
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/droplang
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/dropuser
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_archivecleanup
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_basebackup
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_config
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_dump
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_dumpall
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_isready
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_receivexlog
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_restore
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_rewind
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_test_fsync
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_test_timing
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_upgrade
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_xlogdump
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pgbench
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/psql
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/reindexdb
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/vacuumdb

$ rpm -ql postgresql95-server|grep bin
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/initdb
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_controldata
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_ctl
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/pg_resetxlog
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/postgres
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/postgresql95-check-db-dir
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/postgresql95-setup
/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/postmaster

I pushed it into main package, because it is not a "server" tool, and
more like a utility. It is not something like pg_ctl or initdb.

Why do you want to push it into -server subpackage?
