That's why I thought the opposite was the case, I couldn't find anything to this effect in the packaging documentation when I was starting out. It seems like a lot of work for very little return if it is our policy, especially fiddling around with *-config and the like executables, which are far from uncommon...what's the use case for multilib -devel packages?
