Splitting off devel is a real good idea, and taking back an already splitted package
is a real bad idea.

For obsoletiong the prio package to the stub must be removed manually for now.

True. But please keep in mind that I just recently updated libserf and usually not
introduce complexity for fun:
  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/log/csw/mgar/pkg/libserf/trunk/Makefile

The interesting thing is that you can really take out much of the real complexity
like handling post-configure-libtool and fiddling with pathes in 1.0:
  http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/gar/changeset/15086

I'll happily renew my offer from last time: If you are working on a package
I recently updated please ask me on any issues and I explain them so you can
take over the package cleanly and you can maintain it in the future. I am unhappy
if you just rip out stuff and try to release the resulting packages without
review.

I rebuild and released the package resulting from the latest revision to unstable
for your convenience:
