Why do you generate autoloads with a different name?

We follow the Calc exemple here: .el files for which autoloads need to
be in Emacs loaddefs.el don't have this local variable set, and files
for which autoloads are put into org-loaddefs.el do have this
variable.

This is for reducing the number of Org autoloads in loaddefs.el as it
speeds up Emacs startup time.

I can imagine some ad hoc function putting the autoloads were they
belong, but this would be ad hoc.  I guess you'll have first to
explain why the current setup is problematic.
