I don't see what would require you to package every piece of
functionality included in a upstream tarball.  Certainly you should
include sufficient comments in the spec to make the situation obvious.
Just be mindful that at some point someone else may need some of the
functionality you don't currently package, and conflicts may arise
because of this.
