I'd place at least the LICENSE.txt in the main package, since it applies to the
main package too. The development documentation, however, should go with -devel
(unless it is so big that it should be branched into a separate -doc package).

As the -devel package requires the main package, the documentation of the main
package is also available whenever -devel is installed, and thus there is no
need to duplicate the file(s).
