they serve different purposes and so they are different

see file PH/elphon.f90, routine elphsum, parameters 'nsig'
and 'degauss1'

lambda = gamma/(pi N(Ef) omega^2)

There is some documentation on electron-phonon calculations
in the manual and in example 7. The answer to many questions 
can ofter be found in the archives of pw_forum, that are 
accessible (and searchable) via the www.pwscf.org web site
