I agree here. If you don't want packages to be pulled in because of header
files, you need support for that (perhaps in the form of subpackages, or
a useflag). But IF the header files of a package are installed one should
be able to assume that they keep on working. Even after buildtime-only
dependencies have been removed.
I agree too
In the case of embedded it is clear that what in binary distributions is
part of the development package (.la files, static libraries, header
files) is not desired at all. To break dependencies to only strip away
some of the headers seems to me a half solution that breaks a lot and
doesn't solve the problem either.

Btw embedded has already different way to archive the same result (ok,
removing headers and static libs after isn't really the cleanest
solution but works fine)
