I ask on IRC how to handle this issue and got some helpful information from Rex
Dieter. First of all, it's not possible to bundle the library "silently", i.e. 
FPC must grant an exception from the no-bundled-libraries policy. Mario (B.),
you should ask for such an exception as described here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries#Exceptions 

I think you could also package a Git snapshot of flicksoup and use it instead
of the bundled library. In this case, all changes to the bundled library should
of course be pushed to the flicksoup repo so that both source pools are in sync
and future updates work smoothly. If the FPC doesn't grant an exception, this
is probably the only alternative.

That shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as you bump the soname and
soversion accordingly.
