Or make a pps-tools package. That's what I'm trying to do in Fedora.

The trouble with the timepps.h file is that it's not just header, it
also contains the actual code. When a new feature from the API is
implemented, all clients need to be recompiled. I think the proper way
would be to move the code to a pps library and require the clients to
use -lpps.
