+%description devel
 This package contains BFD and opcodes static and dynamic libraries.
+
 The dynamic libraries are in this package, rather than a seperate
-devel package because the API of the BFD library is unstable.
+base package because they are actually linker scripts that force
+the use of the static libraries.  This is because the API of the
+BFD library is too unstable to be used dynamically.
+
+The static libraries are here because they are now needed by the
+dynamic libraries.
+
 Developers starting new projects are strongly encouraged to consider
 using libelf instead of BFD.
