The point of this bug is that smoketest crashes if you pass it the "--validate" option, because it can't load the validation layers (which are in the -dev package). So it definitely doesn't run fine w/out the dev package. I guess another way to solve the problem would be to introduce another package which just contains the validation layers, and have vulkan-utils and libvulkan-dev depend on that package.
