The devel vs dev issue has been recently questioned[1] and not
resolved.  I planned to implement that check when the issue is
resolved.  The conversation started on pkgsubmissions, when I sent
libffi packages for release, working towards resolution of the ctypes
module problem in Python.  The conversation has stalled.  We've
established that from the people who care about this issue, 4 are for
-dev and 1 is for -devel.  However, Phil hasn't acknowledged that fact
and still hasn't released the libffi packages.  I can't say I'm happy
with issues being stalled like this.
