You should understand that flex package is devel package and must contain a
libfl* to work correctly.

However, in libfl* is such kind of trivial, that it hasn't seen any changes for
years and is very unlikely to see any changes ever. Furthermore, libfl is almost
never used by real world applications, because they typically replace it.

I.e. the correct way to ship flex is to package "a libfl*" into flex. If it's
libfl.a, so be it.
