Yeah, I understand that kernel headers are focused to developers or
people who needs compiling their own packages but it is still needed for
that purposes, I mean, there can be people running Debian kernel 3.1 that
needs to test how compiling works and with no headers package available
that seems not possible :-?
In brief, why having a package with broken dependecies that cannot be
installed, better not having it at all? Mmm, unless the package itself
has to be created to satisfy another package dependencies... oh, well :-)
