Devel packages
It is common practice in binary based GNU/Linux distributions to use satellite devel packages to collect various build time files like C headers of pkg-config files. In 0install environment it doesn't work, because every package is stored in separate directory hierarchy, e.g., *.so symlinks, from devel package, will point to nothing since all *.so.* files from library package live in separate directory.
Keep all build time files in runtime package.
