Something seems wrong here.

Okay, so you want to rename apr1 to apr1-devel, that makes some sense.
But why does apr1 continue to contain just the source? Why not just
have apr1-devel contain the source and make apr1 a completely empty
package?
Okay. I'll rebuild with apr1 being an empty transition package and
libapr1 containing the source.
Does this also mean that you will take over these as well:
@ aprutil1
@ libaprutil1
Yes, I'm working on those as well.
Also, there are these four old ABI=0 packages to deal with:
@ apr
@ libapr0
@ apr-util
@ libaprutil0
I can't find anything in current setup.ini that actually requires these
ABI=0 versions (other than themselves) so can't we just delete the above
four outright?
I guess so.
Or, how about the following idea: repurpose the the package named "apr"
(which was previously the ABI=0 one) to be the main documentation and
source package for the current ABI=1
I don't see any reason to put the documentation in a separate package,
so I'm going to go with
libapr1: runtime and documentation, source
libapr1-devel: development
