It is better to let the directory be owned by devel subpackage even if it
contains files for unit-test-devel. Directories usually contain both devel and
test files which would result in a directory owned be two different packages.
The idea here is to let devel to own all directories up to some directories
that are obviously only for testing, such as testdata, test_files, ....

Agree, the patch disables with_check and with_unit_test in the if branch. The
current spec files disables both in else branch.

> Does the devel subpackage benefit from including the non-license docs?

Yes and no. Some *.md files can contain additional information for developer.
But usually it helps to get a better picture of what the project is about and
used for. As devel subpackages are used only for building atm and not for
development, it does not. However, it does not hurt.

> The empty %if/%endif at line 59 can probably just be removed.

It is for future use. Once the project extends and new dependencies (not for
main packages) are imported, it will be useful. The idea is to "Keep it there
and just add BuildRequires later so you know where it belongs and don't have to
write it down completely". The same holds for unit-test-devel. It could be
deleted. But later, it will take more time to put it back.
