In my opinion it's not a good solution. ReviewGuidelines says that:
"The placement of pkgconfig(.pc) files depends on their usecase, and
this is usually for development purposes, so should be placed in a
-devel pkg. A reasonable exception is that the main pkg itself is a
devel tool not installed in a user runtime, e.g. gcc or gdb." - it
concerns .pc files but I think that solution should be applied in all
packages which are only development packages.

Thus Gérard is right, -devel subpackage is not needed.
