Debarshi, ack?

autogen-libopts-devel requires both autogen and autogen-libopts.
autogen requires autogen-libopts to run and autogen-libopts-devel to build.
autogen-libopts is required by any package that requires
autogen-libopts-devel to build.

Yes, indeedy, there is a circular dependency.  These packages
are co-dependent.  I refer you to comment #13.  One big ball of
wax may violate Red Hat guidelines, but it surely makes the
interdependency mess a lot more tractable.

That all now said, I think you all get to decide what works best
for your distribution.  Just the one caveat that if folks wind up
installing autogen and autogen-libopts and are not warned to install
autogen-libopts-devel, you will see some complaints.
