Yes, libcmime-dev will contain the .so symlink, the .h headers, the
pkg-config file, any .a if you want to provide ones. And the binary
package should be named libcmime0.1 (or libcmime-0.1) to reflect the
soname that you use. Such a name is important because you don't want
users of your library to be broken on updates.

Optionally, you can provide a -dbg package.
