I'm sorry to play this game, but have you noticed who sent this bug report?

Then, have you ever looked at the changelog of any D-I package?


In short, if Joey if doing this suggestion, I would be tempted to give
him a bit of credit for having good reasons to do it. Ha gave a few in
the bug report rationale as well as in the thread that happned just
befor ehe reported the bug.

It's quite some time  since I hadn't to build out-of-tree modules for
hardware support but my understanding is that this is made fairly easy
by a few tools *assuming one has a toolchain and the Linux kernel
headers installed*.

So, it's probably less overkill than it may seem at first glance to
imagine that installing headers by default may help in some cases.
