Ahh, I hadn't followed along closely enough to know that nothing which
used these files was installed.

Not shipping them if they aren't yet used/needed for anything other
than folks working on remote helpers seems reasonable and the rm in
the spec file should do the trick nicely.  But I have to wonder why
even bother installing them via make install if folks packaging via
rpms, debs, etc. will all have to manually remove these files?
