Correct, data packages are not meant for development use.

The monolingual packages install only exactly as much as is needed for
building pair packages and what an end-user may need for corpus analysis.

Developers can use the apertium-get helper to install and build a
development-usable data package from source. E.g. running "apertium-get
apertium-swe" will install apertium-swe in the active folder.
