That's correct. But it doesn't hurt, because it uses the autoload cookie
";;;###tramp-autoload", which exists only in tramp-*.el files.

An alternative would be to introduce an own lisp/tramp subdirectory, but
Tramp does not reach the "20 files or up" count. Shall I continue to
split the files? :-)
