My question is - why not?
I see more problems than gain.
I have an idea about how we could go about implementing this. Rather than
adding (f.ex) a libjpeg-devel package, we could enhance Portage to support a
second image directory. Ebuilds could then put runtime files into ${D} as
normal, and 'devel' files into (f.ex) ${I} (it's a shame that ${D} was chosen
for the image directory ;-)
The devel stuff in binary distro is always static lib+headers. Would be
ok jusr rm them as postinst action?
