Since I'm not privvy to your build systems, I'm unsure as to what I 
could do to help.

Also, from the tone of your reply, it would seem as if you took my mail 
to be more demanding than it actually was.  Frustrated, yes, demanding, 
no.

My experiences with Freshrpms/Dag/Dries (read: RPMForge, aka "y'all") 
have been uniformly excellent and so it's always a bit off-putting to 
find a package that doesn't live up to those experiences.

I was unaware of Axel's Trac RPMs, primarily because I have been 
extremely reluctant to mix ATrpms with RPMForge, as in the past the 
conflicts between the two have lead to system horkage.  I am using his 
Trac and clearsilver packages and ignoring the rest of the updates that 
ATrpms provides to avoid such horkage, at least for the time being.

As to the solutions, perhaps the breaking out of the python-clearsilver 
bindings from the actual clearsilver package is unnecessary, at least if 
Axel's packages are any indicator.
