Yes, I think we do if we want to do it right.

From the man page, http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Headers.html
"All header files must be listed somewhere; in a _SOURCES variable or in a _HEADERS variable. Missing ones will not appear in the distribution." This is relevant when we run make dist to create a source tarball (say for Debian).

Also, this man page: http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Program-Sources.html#Program-Sources says: "Header files listed in a _SOURCES definition will be included in the distribution but otherwise ignored."

TLDR: You need to include the headers either as part of _HEADERS (if we want to publicly install them) or _SOURCES (if we should just distributed them). These are not for dependency tracking, but rather to determine what goes into the source tarball.

We could move some of these headers to include_HEADERS instead because they should be installed on the system on a make install.
