I'm not using this so I can't test.  The packaging looks good.  But I don't think
the gmp package should have libgmp-devel in its requirements.  This contradicts the
purpose of differing between runtime and devel packages.  The devel package should
only be pulled if the user explicitely requests it, isn't it?

Similar here.  mpfr requires libmpfr-devel only.  I think the base package
should require libmpfr1 and libmpfr0, the latter to allow easy upgrading.  The
devel package should only require libmpfr1.  Uh and, maybe, libgmp-devel?
