The review is highly misleading, and the latest spec file does not
include any headers in the package:
%files
%license COPYING
%doc EXTENDING.html FAQ NEWS README
%{_bindir}/arduino-ctags
%{_mandir}/man1/arduino-ctags.1.gz

Yes, of course, if the headers aren't used by the application itself
and not by anyone either. What sort of headers are they? What do they
do? Do they need a library to link with? Question, questions!
