Well, for a start, at least one application that I know of needs those 
headers to compile. Specifically, I'm referring to portslave 
(http://sourceforge.net/portslave/) - as it stands, it won't compile on
Debian without having a copy of the ppp source code to refer to.

The existing Debian package of portslave has to drop support for chap
in order to compile, because the chap*.h files aren't there.

Secondly, given that upstream thinks it worthwhile to put all those
header files in, it would be nice if Debian did too.

Cheers,

Paul
