Indeed, the -devel requires main requires -devel is strange behavior, when you
look at it from a fresh point of view.

The guidelines are not strict in this case; for e.g. compilers it is normal to
put development libraries in the main package.

So actually it would be best to unite -devel with main and make the main
package Provides: f2c-devel.
