Overall looks pretty good.  A few nits:

1) Shouldn't the DLLs be linked with -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base?  (Why 
this isn't the binutils default already, I really don't know.)

2) /usr/bin/ustr-import is in libustr-devel but its manpage is in 
libustr; these should be packaged together.

3) If libustr-debug is really just meant for debugging purposes and 
won't be used in other packages, I think the DLL should also be part of 
libustr-devel.
