That's a nice illustration for missing metainfo.
As DU1 only deals with a single package, one would essentially
have to provide two separate 'setup.py' files to build the
'user' and the 'devel' packages.
As you point out, most distros make the distinction,
so it might be a good idea for DU2 to provide support
for that, such that 'python setup.py dist' will be able
to generate both, <foo>, as well as <foo>-devel.
