If necessary, I'm happy to do so.  How would I do this in the spec file?

See the "DebugInfo" bug that this one blocks (bug 496968) for fix recipes.  For this case, it's probably 

%global debug_package %{nil}

Just add "BuildArch:      noarch"
Also bibus should not requires openoffice.org-pyuno, openoffice.org-writer python-sqlite2 and MySQL-python, it works well without those package.

That won't work because it needs to be noarch because it needs to generate the appropriate configuration look in the appropriate directory /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 for the openoffice.org libraries.

I think the approach suggested in comment #2 is the best i.e.:

%global debug_package %{nil}

True, but because the OpenOffice.org functionality can't be selectively enabled in a subpackage, I'd prefer to keep those dependencies so it works out of the box for most users who will probably want to use this with OpenOffice.org.  It's a pity we don't (yet) have Debian's concept of "Suggests" in RPM/yum as yet.

OK, fixed in rawhide (F-14) and I'll push an F-13 fix (that will close this bug), but probably not necessary to have F-11 and F-12 updates just for this issue.

bibus-1.5.1-2.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13.

You are right.

openoffice is not buildtime dependencies, people who have openoffice installed acturally don't need those dependencies actually, however people who don't need , openoffice at all have to download such a big package. Not all fedora users have a good internet connection speed. Also some other packages such as eclipse, netbeans don't have those additional dependencies. I highly recommand you split out openoffice dependencies, because there are some people who complained to me about bibus. 

The python-sqlite2 and MySQL-python are also not buildtime dependencies, so it may be better to let bibus user choose which databases he need(it's easy to choose). 

You can add a README.rpm instead to let people known what packages are suggestted to install.
