No. Sometimes they're used to create dependencies (e.g. the "xxx-libs"
RPM that makes up a whole package). For example, the "e2fsprogs"
package is made up of:
e2fsprogs-devel-(version)
e2fsprogs-libs-(version)
e2fsprogs-(version)
Subpackages may be used to create the "e2fsprogs-libs" and/or
"e2fsprogs-devel" RPMs. More commonly, those are created by a separate
build process. Your choice.
