A -dev packages should contain only headers, some scripts and symlinks,
so if it tells you it depends on a lib, it means it improperly contains
binaries. Check why. Look at the mgar output, usually it gives the right
syntax for the -dev.
Maybe theres another package that you should create to contain binaries.
