We should be able to install the dev IPK and resolve its corresponding 
dependency chain. As I mentioned earlier, enabling recommended packages and 
installing them increases hard disk usage and installation time when installing 
a lot of unnecessary recommended packages.

Yocto handles the dev dependency chain by parsing the 'Requires' field from the 
.pc file in the package_do_pkgconfig function. However, there is one more 
field, 'Requires.private', which also needs to be considered when creating the 
dependency chain for the dev IPKs. With this, the dev IPK has the proper 
dependencies listed and there is no need to install the recommended packages.
