I haven't found this to be the case, at least for reasonably stable
upstreams.

I'm curious which split packages have been easier.  The two I've been
involved with (amanda, gimp-print) have been very painful.  I maintain
several packages with conditonal PLISTs and those have been less trouble
(although simler to start with).
