Well, moving things to a directory is a reasonable solution.  I guess the
question is whether /usr/include/ctl is really any better than
/usr/include/ctl.h and whether it's worth the trouble at all.  I mean, every
downstream package will need work to accommodate.  And normally I wouldn't bring
it up at all, except that there has been plenty of discussion about this issue
recently.

It's easy to check to see if anything else owns the file:
   repoquery --whatprovides /usr/include/ctl.h
which shows that indeed nothing owns it.  (I had checked this earlier.)

I guess that putting things in a directory under /usr/include is conceptually
quite clean and should be adopted by more packages.  There shouldn't be any
objections as long as it's easy to fix the dependent packages.
