Look at package split... You split the package too much...

There are only a very few of this *empty* meta packages... though there
are a lot of unversioned development packages... Apparantly you didn't
understand Joerg's proposal? He proposed to remove the empty packages
and to drop the version in the *name* of the development, debug (and
documentation) package. This will make sure that a user automatically
updates to the latest version...

No, unless you think it will be accepted.
