Only .so SYMLINKS should be in the -devel package, the symlinks that are made 
to the actual libraries that would be in the main package.  Python modules 
often have unversioned shared object files (.so) that are part of the module.  
They are not development symlinks and they SHOULD be packaged in the main 
package.
