They were split as part of the great dis-aggregation. I had a prototype
of them merged back together, but that was never finished. I'm not sure
what the status is at this point, but you might want to look at this:

I can't imagine why you'd want to skip any particular protocol headers
for install; they're not large. I guess some package build may assume
that the presence of a proto header implies the presence of a library?
