I wonder if this -libs -devel split makes sense for this package.

Using f2c means that you want to convert Fortran code to C code, to
actually compile the result of that you need -libs *and* -devel package
as f2c will always add

#include "f2c.h"

to C output. 

Only f2c and f2c-devel is not useful, you have to add f2c-devel
to make use of f2c-libs.

f2c alone is only useful if you want to see the ugly converted output and do
nothing more (very unlikely).

Splitting f2c will be the same as splitting gcc in gcc (/usr/bin/gcc),
gcc-libs (for the object files) and gcc-devel (headers).

To me this don't make sense.
