The Language Packs are pre-built packages that I am pretty sure do not 
include -dev code:

http://get.enterprisedb.com/docs/README-edb-languagepack-9.6.txt

"Language Pack Installers
========================

Language pack installers contain supported languages that may be used 
with our PostgreSQL
database installers. The language pack installer allows you to create pl 
languages for Perl,
TCL/TK, and Python without installing supporting software from third 
party vendors.

For more details on how to install, please see the installation notes 
that are packaged with the installer.

What is Including in the Installer:
===================================

(1) TCL with TK; 8.5
(2) Perl; 5.20
(3) Python; 3.3

NOTE:

The Perl package contains the cpan package manager, and Python contains 
pip and easy_install package
managers. There is no package manager for TCL/TK.
