Better not -- there may be some differences.

You want the "libc-2.1.3-devel" .deb -- it contains any
static libraries, header files, and other developer-related
stuff.

In Debian, things needed to __use__ programs are called
"blah-(rev)", while things needed by developers are
called "blah-dev-(rev)".
