Please note that the proposed new version of hel-arabic.ly internally
contain a line that includes arabic.ly, which means that the end user
only has to do
\include "hel-arabic.ly"
just as before. Hopefully this resolves your concern.

The other modifications are useless, they simply make hel-arabic

This doesn't make sense. `hel-arabic.ly` is part of the LilyPond core
files. If someone uses a recent version of LilyPond, both
`hel-arabic.ly` and `arabic.ly` are *always* present. *Of course* it
should share the code with `arabic.ly`! Our goal is to improve
maintainability, and avoiding duplicated code is definitely such an
improvement.
