The problem is that the default packaging assumes that any libraries are
versioned, shared libraries (as 99% of libraries are), so libfoo.so.* goes
into PN and libfoo.so (the development-time symlink) goes into PN-dev.

However your library isn't versioned, so these defaults don't apply.  At
least you'll want to override FILES_${PN} and FILES_${PN}-dev so that
FILES_PN contains ${libdir}/lib*.so, and set FILES_PN-dev to just install
the headers.
