The library packaging policy forces you to rename curl-devel to
either libcurl-devel or libcurl4-devel if you want to support development
with different curl versions. We choose not to and rename it to
libcurl-devel which will depend on libcurl4

But if for whatever reason someone needs curl-devel = 7.16.1, should
this dependency be satisfied by _any_ future version of libcurl-devel?
Obsoleting just curl-devel = 7.16.1 is a good idea.
And also adding a simple comment, e. g. curl-devel was last used in
openSUSE

While you're at it, cosider splittig a curl-ca-bundle or curl-data or

Do old curl libraries work with a new file?
Yes, in fact the filename is just passed to openSSL, curl doesn't care
about the content. And yes, the compat-curl* packages have been broken
from the begining, because they don't depend on the package

I have splitted off a curl-ca-bundle package and depend on that from

please use package dependencies when possible. they

For the library packaging policy as discussed previously this is an
example on how to fix an offending package. We take the example of
curl, as we have (ick) compat-curl2 and compat-curl3 packages alread,
which is a mess.
