	What do you mean by kernel-header? the package? it is not
 needed in 99.99% of the cases (pcmcia-modules is the only exception
 that I know about)

	We should also list dpkg and dpkg-dev, especially if we wish
 the final step to be package creation and not a mere build. 

	Is this the right place to advocate CVS and cvs-buildpackage?
