I didn't say anything about that, it is just that the libfoo.so symlink
always goes in the -dev package. The rest is fine, except that you should
include static libraries in libaspell-dev, too (don't ask me why, though :).

It could, but the soname doesn't have to be equal to the program/library
version. A little confusing to me, but many libs make it different.
