The problem is that we (I mean people, who interested in getting more erlang
software into Fedora/EPEL) still haven't a rules/policy for packaging erlang
applications and libraries. Among (still very few) erlang-related packages in
Fedora/EPEL, some packaged splitted into main and *-devel subpackage, while
others - not (erlang itself).

After some thinking about this issue, I finally agreed with you - we should
bundle hrl-files with main package, and this mine request should be ignored.
