I'm reviewing the un-retirement ticket of python-nss [1] and rpmlint is complaining about header files under the python module directory. The specfile is using the %pyproject_save_files macro to get the file list. I'm unsure if this is a false positive or I must ask the submitter to filter out those files in a -devel package... What do you think?

What is the purpose of the header files? Does the package function without them? In that case, I think they shall be completely eliminated, not moved to a devel subpackage.
To eliminate them, I would suggest modifying setup.py not to install them at all, however looking at it I have no idea how would I do that.
