Nvu is already in sid amd64, but that one segfaults too, so you're not
the only one with this problem. Which version of gcc are you using?
IIRC, all mozilla apps segfault when built with gcc-3.3, the ones in the
archive are built with gcc-3.4 or later. I am trying to build nvu from
debian sources with gcc-4.0 right now.
Regarding -dev packages, these will be very necessary for multiarch, as
they are generally architecture-independent files and have to be kept
separate so packages from different architectures won't conflict. So
while they may not be very necessary right now, they will be soon.
