If `org-capture` uses an indirect buffer, indeed.
Modes which can be used with both should setup both hooks.

There seems to be a lot of overlap with `clone-buffer`, so it would make
sense to try and merge them, yes.  I don't think we want to
support/encourage situations where we have multiple buffers with the
same `buffer-file-name` like `org-export-copy-buffer` creates, but we
could provide some alternative where the clone has `buffer-file-name`
set to nil but the old value (or the origin bugger) is recorded in
another buffer-local var.
