"-dev" shotgun approach ?

Hi Everyone
I seem to always be missing some library. I was thinking about making a
shell script that would just install all the development packages.
Is this insane? Any nasty side effects?
Thanks for reading-Patrick
apt-get install *-dev*
or
apt-get install *-dev
Under just risk *lol*

Actually I tried something similar and it won't just install the -dev
package but the packages related to it. It looks like it might install
much of the repository.
Is there a way to force only one package to be installed and for it's
dependencies to be ignored?
I was thinking about switching to Arch at one point due to all the -dev
searching, I really do love Trisquel thoug and a little shell script
might solve this.
What I used to do was download the .deb, type dpkg -i package.deb and if it fails, I'd aptitude it's dependencies. apt-get -f install or --fix-missing might also do the trick,
but if you have a more sophisticated way in mind, please share it:)

Well you're free to do so, but you might want to check out Parabola GNU/Linux. It's like Arch, but ./configure --enable-freedom ;)
Thanks nowaman, Thanks magicbanana
The plot thickens, I've run out of space in my root partition. I'll
have to figure this out first before I can tell you if this insanity was
worth it :)
The 3405 *-dev* packages, which are in Dagda's repository, are for developing the applications whose name comes before "-dev". Do you modify most of the applications on your system?!? Of course, you could also reuse some libraries for your own developments... but thousands of libraries?!?
i sometimes find useful to create a usr and var -folders in a separate partition with plenty of space, copy them from the original system partition and finally bind-mount these new folders.
in fstab:
/dev/sda# /mnt/hd 0 0
/mnt/hd/usr /usr none bind
if bind-mounting fail for any reason, it'll fall back to use originals in your system partition.
