I know nothing about eieio.  I have no idea whether this is actually a
bug, but it seemed odd.  There are duplicate defaliases in these two
files.  Should there be?  HTH.

The autoloads are apparently automatically extracted from the other
files, and put into eieio.el. This seems unnecessary, since Emacs itself
will extract the autoloads.

Example:

;;;### (autoloads (eieio-help-mode-augmentation-maybee eieio-describe-generic
;;;;;;  eieio-describe-constructor eieio-describe-class eieio-browse)
;;;;;;  "eieio-opt" "eieio-opt.el" "1bed0a56310f402683419139ebc18d7f")
;;; Generated autoloads from eieio-opt.el

(autoload 'eieio-browse "eieio-opt" "\
Create an object browser window to show all objects.
If optional ROOT-CLASS, then start with that, otherwise start with
variable `eieio-default-superclass'.

\(fn &optional ROOT-CLASS)" t nil)

Yes, it does, and puts them into eieio.el.

Oh, I though it put them into auto-autoloads.el or something.

Then I guess this isn't a bug?

See file-local setting of generated-autoload-file (it's a nice feature
if you have main.el and helper*.el and the way to use the package is to
load main.el).

> Then I guess this isn't a bug?

No. But since eieio-opt requires eieio, the eieio-opt autoloads could be
changed to:

;;;###autoload(defalias 'describe-class 'eieio-describe-class)
