Yes, for C/C++ sometimes developers needs the .a static libraries, the new
library.h header, .la files, etc.
And by convenience some libraries give a "dev" packages with all that,
included the "nude" symlink that point to the develop library.

But this is not needed by fpc, fpc needs the .so dynamic library for
linking, no more.
