You are missing the point.  Whether the signatures are in `arabic.ly`
or in `hel-arabic.ly` is a purely technical decision.  It doesn't
affect the user interface in any way.  I can only repeat: The user can
select between `\include "arabic.ly"` and `\include "hel-arabic"` – it
is completely irrelevant where the maqam definitions are actually
stored internally.

For example, a different layout could be

  arabic.ly:
    ... some setup for arabic ...
    \include "maqam.ly"

  hel-arabic.ly:
    .. some setup for hel-arabic ...
    \include "maqam.ly"
