(gpgme1.0 is an artifact and not relevant here obviously)

Great.

We would not have this conversation yes. However if the headers
continued to stay identical I'd probably think 5 years from now that was
not the most efficient design. And I might end up with using symlinks to
avoid duplicate data warning. So I think it is good thing we are having
this conversation. :-) If your take was "Yes, they are identical /now/
but probably will not stay that way" a split right now avoids later
pain.
