Or make wine require wine-tools. There's nothing wrong with splitting
up packages, but any recommended combinations should be linked by
requires until rpm/yum starts supporting tags like 'Enhances' and
'Suggests'.

Debuginfo is built automatically by rpmbuild and can't joined to the
devel package. The debuginfo package is only needed for debugging,
whereas (I think) the -devel package is used for things like making
winelib apps. All packages in Fedora are like that, and developers are
used to that now.
I think that most users would just install 'wine' and use it. I don't
think it's common for people to get confused over which of all the
packages they should install. Unless they know already that they need
something non-standard, anything not required by the base package is
probably something they won't need.
