[Fedora-packaging] rpc service description headers packaging

Hello,

There is some dissension on the packaging of the rpc service headers that
comes with quota 
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.h
/usr/include/rpcsvc/rquota.x
see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=226353

The same issue exists for ypserv for
/usr/include/rpcsvc/ypxfrd.x

All the remaining service header files are owned by glibc-headers.

Reviewers insist on putting those files in a -devel subpackage. I am not
sure that it is really needed since these are not API description. The
devel package won't need to require the main package, and it seems to me
that it would better be called -headers than -devel. Also maybe all the
rpc service headers could be in glibc.

Advices?
