They are private headers, they're not supposed to be used externally.
Why are they using them?

Hi,

this is also relevant for #726116, #726073.

I would like to work on getting nss-pem [1] included into Debian, so 
that libcurl3-nss may load PEM-encoded certificates - in particular the 
CA cert dump in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.

The libnspr4-dev package already includes private headers in 
/usr/include/nspr/private. Analogously, the private NSS headers might go 
to /usr/include/nss/private.

In order to build nss-pem, the static libraries libfreebl.a, libnssb.a 
and libnssckfw.a are required. Currently, libnss3-dev only includes 
libcrmf.a. Could you please add those, as well?

Tobias
