There is no such syntax so you have to something else.
As you already said you can make libhypre-dev arch any and you must.
Further you have the choice of creating libhypre-dev-common containing
the shared files. But only do that if libhypre-dev-common will be
reasonably large. There is no point in the split for just
100K. ftp-master will veto if it is too small.
