He? IMHO this is neither right nor common practice.

The "dependencies of development library packages" are not necessarily 
the -dev packages of the libraries that the package in question is 
linked to.

I mean, if libfoo0 is linked against liba0, libb0 and libc0, then 
liba-dev, libb-dev and libc-dev are *not* necessarily dependencies of 
libfoo-dev! Imagine what this would mean for e.g. libavcodec-dev.

Things are different for static libraries, though.

To find out hard dependencies for shared libraries development 
packages, you should (1) check which headers are included by the 
public API, (2) check which libraries are referenced by the .pc files 
and (3) check which libraries are referenced by the .la files.
