I think it is what users of the --program-prefix|suffix|transform
configure options will probably expect to happen.
Ie if someone wants "emacs" installed as "emacs27", I think they want
"emacs27-module.h" as well.

The documentation also names eg the "emacs" and "emacslient"
executables, which are rather more fundamental. The documentation does
not account for the --program-transform etc options anywhere, and I
don't think it should. It's a specialized feature, and people who use it
should be able to deal with the consequences.
