Ah ok, I did not see libelf-devel since I was looking for
lib*[0-9]-devel*.rpm. Ok, I try again, with a better package example.

17:36 ichi:/lnk/fac/i586 > l libcurl*
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200 147722 Sep 23 14:50 libcurl-devel-7.16.4-16.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200  90925 Sep 22 02:10 libcurl2-7.11.0-32.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200 112130 Sep 22 02:19 libcurl3-7.15.5-34.i586.rpm

There is only one -devel package, and not four. And it's called
libcurl-devel and not libcurl4-devel. That's good.

But not all packages follow the curl scheme, e.g. libxfcegui4:

17:39 ichi:/lnk/fac/i586 > l libxfcegui4-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200 251668 Sep 22 05:35 libxfcegui4-4.4.1-55.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 455 5200  54708 Sep 22 05:35 libxfcegui4-devel-4.4.1-55.i586.rpm

So, could not it just be named libxfcegui-devel?
