Rhetorical: Is gcc, gdb, valgrind, nasm, memprof a subpackage of
something else? (hint: no)

Real question: How does being a subpackage affect this at all?

You mentioned gcc, gdb, etc... as a counter-argument. I was simply highlighting a difference between them and this case... (hoping that it went without saying, but...) in most(95%-99%?) cases, imo, a foo-devel without a foo doesn't make much sense.
