It is a violation of the packaging guidelines, which want the static lib to be
separated from the shared lib. The -static package may depend on the -devel
package, however, to pull in the headers and license terms.

If you think the static lib is worth mentioning specifically, maybe give a hint
in the %description of the -devel package. It currently only mentions headers,
btw.


> Will removing Required from -devel be enough to comply this policy?

Yes, since it is the first case here:
