I've recently developed a simple module and ran into a surprising issue
with the skeleton: I couldn't locate the emacs-module.h in my system
matching the Emacs installation the module is compiled against. I
eventually gave up and just bundled the emacs-module.h from a Git
checkout with my module's source code. It makes up for most of the code
in the project.
This is far from ideal. If I give an Emacs user the source code of a
module without that header file, they can't easily compile it for their
system. This severely hamper a workflow where a package manager would
be extended to handle module compilation as I haven't found other Emacs
modules bundling the header file. Is this an oversight in the
installation process or a deliberate design decision?

Yes, this is bug#31929. The header should be installed by "make install"
into the system header file's tree.

Oversight.

Alright, thanks. Feel free to close the ticket if this hasn't been done
