Thanks, Jesse & Michael. 

I looked into it a bit further and this does indeed seem to be a bug on
the package itself. In 0.4.0, the -devel properly held a symlink to the
original library, but because that was moved in the 0.5.x builds, that
symlink was also removed (and thus the -devel package contains only data
files: incude headers and the pkgconfig-foo).

What would be the best solution to resolve this? Should I add a symlink
in the -devel subpackage manually? (This would resolve to within the %
libdir/nemiver directory, too, which I think was one other bug that
needed a squashing.)
