Both libafsrpc and libafsauthent are in the same package. What I meant by 
'split them off' was that I removed the shared libraries from the other 
OpenAFS RPMs, and put them in their own package.

openafs-authlibs contains only the shared libraries (libafsrpc and 
libafsauthent); openafs-authlibs-devel contains the static libraries of 
the same name, as well as the symbolic links 'libafsrpc.so', 
'libafsauthent.so', which are only used during linking.
