Hysterical raisins.
Both of these date a long way back, so it's unlikely that any of us
can remember the reasoning involved.
The shutdown_xxx handling was introduced in September 1998,
in SVN revision 1609 (configure, et al)
The deinit_xxx handling was introduced at roughly the same time
(July 1998) in SVN revision 1440, right from the very first version of
the dlmod module (originally under mibgroup/misc).
I suspect that shutdown_xxx support was probably added before
the development team had recognised the similarities with the
dlmod handling (which was a third-party-provided patch).
And by the time the difference became apparent, it was too
late to do anything about it.

Yes - that seems sensible to me.
shutdown is probably the more important,
but this sort of double-wrapping should be OK.
