http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Peter/Erlang_Packaging_Guidelines says: "Header files for erlang modules must be bundled with main package (not in *-devel). They are very often used by system administrators right from the REPL console."
This story is mostly about -records (kind of structures in C). -records are syntax sugar and converted to tuples at compile-time [1]. There is also no way to know at runtime, whether this tuple is actually tuple or it is a - record. But If you want pretty-printing of output at runtime in erlang-shell (or you want to call a function which want -record at input) you have to have .hrl and to use rr("my_header.hrl"). I understand that this sounds little strange not to put headers into -devel package.
