Ralf Wildenhues answered this question on 2011-01-12 [1]:

  "things like 'make tags ctags cscope' etc. look at all _SOURCES files."

I never use these targets 'tags', 'ctags', 'cscope', so for me personally
it makes no difference whether .h files are added to lib_SOURCES or not.

But if we decide that .h files should be added to lib_SOURCES, I would vote
for gnulib-tool to do this automatically (like it automatically adds all
source files that are not otherwise mentioned to EXTRA_DIST).
