After chasing down an issue where it seemed that one option is not configured as defined in the .setup file the reason seemed to be that we had the same option with different prefixes and different values.
To check if it was just a typo I checked for both prefixes used and found e.g. https://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/plugins/org.eclipse.oomph.p2/.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.ui.prefs which has also both defined:

...
cleanup.format_source_code_changes_only=false
...
sp_cleanup.format_source_code_changes_only=false
...

What is the purpose of having both prefixes / difference between those?

It's more of a JDT question. A file such as the one you reference is stored by the IDE when you elect to save the preferences local/specfic to the project. The prefix is defined by org.eclipse.jdt.internal.corext.fix.CleanUpPreferenceUtil.SAVE_PARTICIPANT_KEY_PREFIX and as far as I understand it, it has to do with whether the action is done automatically on save versus manually from the context menu.
