Okay, then how about this:

Headers belong in library-devel.  Shared library belongs in
library-(null).  Static library belongs in library-static.  Everything
nicely labelled, and none of this
have-to-install-the-static-library-to-get-anything-to-compile nonsense.

I still don't like it, but I really don't want to get into a discussion of
the merits of using prepackaged binaries (and the deficiencies of the
package managers thereof) versus compiling one's own.
