I'm just building new RPMs with scipy-core splitted. Yes, now I have to use 
two tarballs. And I created a setup-core.py:

##########

#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
setup-core.py for installing the 'core' of scipy

Usage:
   python setup.py build/install

"""
import os,sys
from scipy_version import scipy_version
from distutils.core import setup

if __name__ == "__main__":

    print 'SciPy Version %s (core)', scipy_version
    setup (name = "SciPy (core)",
          version = scipy_version,
          maintainer = "SciPy Developers",
          maintainer_email = "scipy-dev at scipy.org",
          description = "Scientific Algorithms Library for Python",
          license = "SciPy License (BSD Style)",
          url = "http://www.scipy.org",
          packages=['scipy_distutils',
                    'scipy_distutils.command',
                    'scipy_test'],
          package_dir = {'scipy_distutils':'scipy_distutils',
                         'scipy_test':'scipy_test',
                         },
          )

Life was easier with only one scipy-package...
