That's a naming format I didn't think of previously. So I did another search on openSUSE.

`zypper se devtools`
S | Name             | Summary                                     | Type
--+------------------+---------------------------------------------+--------
   | linuxrc-devtools | Tools to submit from Git to OBS via Jenkins | package
   | rpmdevtools      | RPM Development Tools                       | package
   | yast2-devtools   | YaST2 - Development Tools                   | package

So, yep, developers use that convention as well. And, the Summary clarifies it.

Personally, it doesn't much matter to me. Since the SPEC file indicates gambas3-devel is required, I know it's ... required. 
But, "*dev*tools" is more descriptive.
