+</I>&gt;<i> libgudev-devel[== 166-5.mga1]

+</I>&gt;<i> lib64gudev1.0-devel(x86-64)[== 166-5.mga1]
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> only libgudev-devel, so if I put BR gudev-devel in a spec it won't

+</I>&gt;<i> $ urpmq --provides lib64dbus-1-devel
+</I>&gt;<i> libdbus-1-devel[== 1.4.1-3.mga1]
+</I>&gt;<i> libdbus-devel[== 1.4.1-3.mga1]
+</I>&gt;<i> dbus-devel[== 1.4.1-3.mga1]
+</I>&gt;<i> [...]
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> WDYT?
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> (If we agree to go one way or the other, will just fix them gradually
+</I>&gt;<i> over time).
+</I>
+I remember having this discussion in Mandriva when we dropped %major
+from devel name. As a result the library policy (which we have on Mageia
+as well) was altered so that all packages should have
+- name-devel
+- tarballname-devel
+as provides, i.e. without lib%name-devel (except for existing pkgs).
+This is what I've been using for any new packages I've packaged.
+
+However, as usual, I'm fine with any consistent scheme (one or the other
+or both).
