I note that the debuginfo package comes out empty; it seems that you can't
generate useful debuginfo for static libraries, so you should probably just
disable the debuginfo generation.

If you're providing static libraries and no dynamic libraries are present, the
statics can live in the -devel package but you need to provide -static so that
packages can BuildRequire: it.

Finally, I have vague unease about this package putting everything in the main
package and having that provide the extra symbols.  I think libassuan is in
pretty much the same situation, with no non-devel files; it just produces a
libassuan-devel package, and provides -static, with no main package.  (It also
has only a static library, and disables the -debuginfo package.)

I'm not saying that what you're doing is wrong; it just looks odd to me.  If you
have an example of another package which does the same thing then let me know so
I can look at the review discussion.
