Precedence for shadowing a monolithic Fedora package?

Hi all,

I maintain sonic-visualiser in Fedora -- it's an audio visualization
tool that can optionally link against libmad, to support manipulating
MP3 files.

The Fedora build, naturally, has this disabled; I made it a build time
switch to quickly enable the feature. It'd be nice if it can be shipped
within RPMfusion, though, but because the package is monolithic, it can
be annoying to do -- one can't just build the full package and then
filter out the core parts, as is done with xine-lib-plugins-freeworld.

What is the recommended way. Use an obsolete? Make them both parallel
installable?

Regards,
