.h files in non-devel package?

[Gérard Milmeister <gemi bluewin ch>]

Is it absolutely necessary, that .h files go into a -devel package? I
have a package stklos, which is a scheme interpreter, that does not
contain any shared (or static) libraries, but some header files
in /usr/share/stklos which are necessary if an extension is to be
installed. I believe that it is confusing to split the header files off
into an stklos-devel package, since stklos is a development package
itself and not a library. We used this approach before for Scheme and
Lisp packages. However the reviewers of my package do not agree with me.
