OK.  Do you have any more details from the test suite log?

The reason for splitting would be if it turns out that the include
directory takes a fair amount of space that is not needed in many
cases.  If that’s the case, then splitting makes sense.  That may well
be the case: what’s the side of each of these outputs?

If it’s just that it happens to fix OpenJDK as a side effect, that’s not
a good reason.  :-)

OK but that’ll be useful eventually to get Evince and friends to print
correctly.

Isn’t it GPLv2-only?

The rest looks good to me.

Thanks,
