I looked into this further, and I think that lib_package serves a 
different purpose than libdev and it would be wrong to inherit from 
lib_package.

lib_package seems to split out binaries from the core ${PN} package and 
places them in ${PN}-bin.  I did update it to move static libraries to 
the -staticdev package.

Sau!
