The surplus-dependency error tag used to be one of the most common
false positives in checkpg. I've just committed a code change, which
allows *-devel packages to depend on any packages. The detection is
based on pkgname (not the catalogname), and the regex used is:
CSW[a-z\-]+dev(el)?
This matches CSWfoo-devel, CSWfoo-dev, CSWfoodevel and CSWfoodev.
After you update your svn clients, you'll see messages about unused
overrides. You will also no longer see the surplus-dependency errors
in new *-devel packages.
