I have written a small perl-script which does a good guess which *-dev
packages you might install on your system. You can get it at

	http://garnix.unix-ag.uni-hannover.de/~ingo/dpkg-chkdev

The output is in german but it is easy to use. Just call it without
parameters. It will analyze your system and give a summary in the form:

package-dev: package1 package2

which means "package-dev might be installed because package1 and package2
are installed". It does not recognize conflicting -dev packages which I
do resolve in dselect.

This program works for me(TM), but you are free to use it within debian.
