Yes, I looked without success, and it's quite inconsistent in packages
generally. I'd have thought the dependencies should be added, but
it's difficult to verify them (and I don't know why rpmbuild doesn't
try to follow #includes).
Yes, -devel packages should require the other devel packages needed to build
with it. It's a commonly missed aspect. I suspect it's just a bit too messy
to try to generate the proper provides/requires automatically.
