I'm leaning towards having a directory for them like
/usr/include/openrc, but I'm also fine with having them in /usr/include .

It's not so much about standard practice, but even say avoiding file
collisions and weird issues with wrong headers being included
(especially rc.h seems to be a fairly generic name).

Also, it may be easier to change now when we only have two headers, than
later. And you may even add compatibility symlinks or copies in
/usr/include to give people more time to update.
