Uhm I'm not convinced, it gets too complicated IMHO.  And what will
happen when we provide dtrace?  It'll likely use one of those
libraries.

I think what we have now is almost fine, the only problem I see is
that we provide -dev packages for libraries which aren't really meant
to have a stable ABI (and which don't include header files btw).

How about just removing the -dev packages and leave the rest as-is?
