The build-time script that goes with the headers being in the same package
seems fine to me, since it's a script.  For biarch to be happy, you usually
want the common parts (headers and here, the script) to be in a -headers
package and only the machine-specific nonoverlapping files in -devel
(which requires -headers = %{version}-%{release}).
