Package: linux-headers-2.6.15
Severity: minor

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi,

I'm currently working on prebuilt kernel modules, and for that I need to
find out the ABI version I'm building against from the debian/rules
file.

I'm Build-Depending on linux-headers-2.6.15, which pulls in all the
flavour headers for the architecture for me, however there is no way I
could find out which ABI version they pull in, in case multiple are
installed (as there is no way to conflict with all versions not pulled
in by a build-dependency [which would be undesirable anyway]).

As the linux-headers-x.y.z package needs to know the ABI version as it
depends on versioned packages, it would probably be easy to leave some
file in /usr/src/linux-headers-x.y.z or another hint which ABI version
is current (and thus guaranteed to be installed completely).

There are only meta packages which includes the complete abi available.
