There aren't proper guidelines for this but there is this page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Python26#Packaging_Guidelines_for_EPEL5

Here's the caveats:  dmalcolm is in favor of combined packaging when
possible (ie, in the non-RHEL/EPEL split case) for packager convenience.
I'm in favor of split packages for the reasons given on that page.

It sounds like you're thinking python-zmq won't exist on EPEL6, only the
python26-zmq subpackage.  With that in mind, only the bugzilla consideration
seems to apply.
