Correct

Everything provided by install-dev. Primarily development headers, but
also winegcc etc it seems. Average users don't need these, so it's
separated to keep the main package size down.

Yes. Handy thing about Debian package building is a tool called
dh_strip. By default, this will strip out debugging symbols, but it
can be told to save them to a separate package.

Again, debugging symbols are useful for some, but take up a lot of space.
