Well, before checking -2 package:

Well, my question is that
* at a build stage of HippoDraw, one of the three headers are
  "include"d in num_util.h, for example, Numeric/arrayobject.h
* When I want to use num_util.h for other applications, the header
  file included in num_util.h may differ from above, for example,
  numarray/arrayobject.h
Does this cause no problem?

Yes, this is needed for linkage. i.e. if you want to allow linkage
against libhippo.so from other applications, this symlink is needed.

Umm? main package has /usr/lib/libhippo.so.0 (needed for ldconfig) or
/usr/lib/libhippo.so.0.0.0 (this is the real file of the library),
however these files cannot be used for linkage (i.e. -lhippo)

Normally -devel package should require main package (or -libs package
if there exists) and for linkage /usr/lib/libhippo.so is needed in
-devel package.
