I think for a distro package of a LIBRARY, the regular package should
only contain the distro. The universal app could be included with a
-devel package instead. The individual apps don't really seem to make
much sense.

So if an app uses the library and therefore pulls in the library
package, why should that app (even the universal one) be installed?
