Your CC line was too huge. devel at ovirt.org should be used to such
discussions.

I believe that the motivation for the current packaging was that
- yajsonrpc is not strictly vdsm-related. It is a candidate for a
  spin-off
- jsonrpc is sever-side only
- api might be needed by clients, too. But I hope we'd have reasonable
  inspection to avoid this need.

As long as vdsm can work without jsonrpc, I'd rather that it does not
require the package. When we move away of xmlrpc, we could drop the
xmlrpc requirement, too.
