Bug#218516: linux-kernel-headers: Check for symbolic link before installing

Come on, there are a dozen FAQs explaining this.  The kernel headers
used to compile user space applications MUST MATCH THE HEADERS THAT
GLIBC WAS COMPILED AGAINST.  Period.  If you want to compile
applications against a different set of kernel headers use -I at your
own risk.

Come on, read the LKML and everybody there seems to agree that *only* sanitised kernel headers should be used and not the plain kernel headers because only few data structure definition and constants are really requiered to compile any ANSI applications. There are already some bug reports, expects others or at least let people do things by checking *needed* symbolic links...
