Bug#4919: libc5-dev /usr/include/{asm,linux} are BROKEN!!

This may be a stupid idea, but would it be possible install the
headers directories as /usr/include/linux-stable and
/usr/include/asm-stable, and then offer to link linux and asm to those
or /usr/src/linux/include? Then those of us who keep up with the
latest kernels and expect kernel modules that are not distributed with
the kernel can compile them and have them work as expected :)
Just a suggestion...
