  That's some strange interpretation. I completly don't agree with that.

  That seems like a perfect description for what -devel is.  For normal usage
selinux-policy is required.  For building and modification – -devel package. Seems
completely intuitive for me.

Agree.

I wonder if "-devel means just header files in c" applies to c++ headers as well?

 

  About assumptions: does ‘rpmlint selinux-policy.spec‘ complains?
