Feature description
There actionlb_msgs defined in this repository appear to be a duplicate of the action_msgs defined in rcl_interfaces: https://github.com/ros2/rcl_interfaces/tree/master/action_msgs
It is confusing having both of these as it isn't clear which one should be used and may cause fragmentation going forward. If possible one of these should be deleted or at the very least renamed.
Implementation considerations
I assume that one of these is here for some historical reason. If there are dependency reasons that one of these cannot be deleted yet then it would be good to at least mark them as deprecated and document what should be used. If someone knows which of these should actually be kept going forward it would be nice to have that information added to this issue.

Research direction
Compare the actionlb_msgs definitions in this repository with action_msgs in rcl_interfaces, starting with the linked package contents and the repository's dependency references. Done means the project has one clearly identified canonical definition, with the duplicate removed or its deprecation and replacement documented if dependencies prevent removal.
