The devel branch is mandatory, but that doesn't mean that the package
owner has to import anything there if they don't need it.

Honestly, though, packages that will be in EPEL but not in Fedora at
all are very rare exceptions and retooling the infrastructure to
handle them specially would be something of a waste of effort.
