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).
