According to the wiki, -git should be used, not -devel. [1] Also, the PKGBUILD files can be improved. Pacman 4.1 provides the ability to clone git repos automatically, and omitting the package() function from a PKGBUILD is deprecated. See the wiki [2] or one of my packages [3] for a more modern example, and make sure to run namcap on the resultant PKGBUILD file.

I'm the creator & mainter for python-sleekxmpp-git :

And I think it should be merged with python-sleekxmpp-devel :

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-sleekxmpp-devel/

Not sure why I created a new package, as the -devel, despite being misnamed, is pretty much the same thing I submitted about about a year later. I will request a few changes to the PKGBUILD once the merge happens, including, perhaps, resubmitting it as -git

python-sleekxmpp-git is a better name in my opinion. I'd rather merge -devel into it.
