As in the subject. They are automatically generated and no mildly sane person would want them in that form anyway even if s/he wants some for some notion of "backcompatibility". I am heavily using Perl for years on machines where _none_ of these files exist, either automatically created or hand edited, and I still have to encounter a problem because of that. Only holdovers from Perl 4 times, which should be rewritten a long time ago in any case, may have references to these headers. Splitting that into a separate package would allow it to install this separately by those who truly want that and is a simple edit job on a spec file without any other changes to the current packaging process.

this change will be considered for future releases
