There does not seem to be much precedent for having a "package" that only
has a -devel; the closest appears to be "db", which looks to be more of a
grouping of similar packages (but feel free to look for yourself in case I
missed another example).
Typically -devel packages are subordinate to [and built from] some other
package. There are .exe files in this -devel, so it might make sense to move
at least those (and usr/share/*) into an actual "openldap" package, and
leave the manual pages, headers, and static libraries in -devel.
