Actually, I think that libgnustep-base1.11 does need some data files 
in gnustep-base-common, so I'm going to be creating a new package 
called gnustep-base-runtime that contains all the runtime support 
binaries.

Yeah, that's what I sort of decided to do (sent a message to the bug 
last night, but forgot to Cc: you).  That seems to be the cleanest 
solution that I can come up with.  We've got a GNUstep library 
transition waiting, so all packages will need to be recompiled 
anyways, which works out nicely for this bug.
