You could package them with two different spec files that share the same
tarball.  In theory this should work, but I haven't tried it out myself yet.  In

It might be good to document this somewhere, either in %description, %doc, or
with an in-game warning.

Ouch.  Perhaps you could add a short comment above Source1: in the spec about this.
