Answering my last question myself:

> %files cxx-devel
> %defattr(-,root,root,-)
> %{_libdir}/libdb_cxx.so
> %{_libdir}/libdb_cxx-%{__soversion}.so

That's a mispackage shared lib. libdb_cxx.so is the file (softlink) to be
stored in the -cxx-devel package, whereas libdb_cxx-%{__soversion}.so is the
run-time lib that belongs into a -cxx subpackage, which is missing, however.

The guidelines have been updated sometime this year in an attempt to give some
background, too:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Devel_Packages

Rule of thumb: Don't simply place all .so files in -devel packages, but place
them in the package they belong into. ;)
