Linux distributions come with additional packages for software engineers.
A package 'kernel' is the one for runtime while '-devel' and '-headers'
are for engineers and/or users to make small changes to the existing files.
E.g.
kernel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
kernel-devel-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
kernel-headers-2.6.23.1-42.fc8
Likewise how about having such auxiliary packages for the OpenOfffice.org?
E.g.
ooobasis3.1-core04-3.1.0-9399.i586.rpm
ooobasis3.1-core04-devel-3.1.0-9399.i586.rpm
The files from the 'devel' package would be installed into
/opt/openoffice.org/basis3.0/include/ and/or some relevant locations.
IMO a package X-devel only makes sense if the base package X contains
something that has an API for clients, and those clients typically need
some additional files to interact with X through that API (C headers,
link libraries, etc.). The only parts of OOo that would qualify here
are the URE and the OOo UNO API. For the latter, there is already the
SDK---which also covers support for the former.
