Packaging looks ok, but is it really necessary to have a libassuan package which only
provides the documentation which you then need if you install libassuan-devel?  I think
it would be simpler to haave only a libassuan-devel package.  Otherwise I'm wondering
if the requirements aren't upside down.  You require libassuan (the docs) if you install
libassuan-devel, but not vice versa...

Anyway, it's ok to upload as you prefer.
