I see what what you mean. Common usage seems to be:
Description: Foo (development files)
Description: Foo (development package)
Description: Foo (development)
Description: Foo (development version)
or the same thing with one of:
Description: Foo -- development files
Description: Foo [development files]

Well, I keep an eye on OSG but I don't use it on a regular basis.

I'd split it off to either the documentation package (if there's one)
or a package of its own. If it's a package of its own, I'd provide
both source and binaries. Some people might want to just poke arround
the demos (to see "what OSG is about") and some people might end up
using the demos as documentation. I can't remember what the demos
actually are. I _do_ remember playing with Performer-town but I don't
think you can redistribute that (I don't remember the license on the
Performer demos -- AFAIR it was Free -- but if it's not free, I don't
think SGI is willing to free the one dataset that puts Performer to
shame :-)

AFAIR sgv is a useful tool on its own.
