Well, my first instinct is to throw out the python client RPM entirely.  Then
package the python client in a separate RPM.  My original plan was not to
ship a python subpackage at all, but then I had a spec file change
contributed that kept the python client in.  So I went that direction;
principle of least surprise and all.  But I am not at all attached to keeping
it; likewise, the JDBC stuff could easily be moved to a completely separate
RPM instead of a subpackage.
