FYI, files are selected for each package by looking through the PACKAGES 
variable and for each package in turn the value of FILES is checked. The first 
package whose FILES matches a file, gets the file.

The default value of PACKAGES is "${PN}-dbg ${PN}-staticdev ${PN}-dev ${PN}-
doc ${PN}-locale ${PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN} ${PN}"; thus FILES_${PN} can be broad if 
the earlier packages pick out the files they need to specifically.

In most cases the default values work perfectly. What you really need to do is 
determine which file it is that gets added to the -dev package and put that 
elsewhere. You should not need to change FILES_${PN}, just FILES_${PN}-dev (or 
other packages as appropriate).

Cheers,
Paul
