ifpdf.sty comes from
  CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek
              ^^^^^
and currently, all these files are installed into tex/latex/oberdiek.
Splitting the package and/or having a different install rule for ifpdf.sty
makes some extra work for a questionable goal.

Heiko, what is your opinion? Do you think that ifpdf.sty should be
installed into tex/generic?
