Yes, but only for the person who writes the build file, not the one
who uses it.  -projecthelp is for the user.

Why would the user care whether she invokes a generic or specific
target?

I'm afraid I don't understand this.

One of your selling points for <include> was that the included build is
self-contained and remains that way by prefixing all traget names and
rewriting the depends lists.

If we break that rule for some kind of target, the included build is
suddenly open for modifications from the outside - including overrides
of target-groups.
