FHS 2.0: links to kernel includes required?



Section 6.1.5 of the FHS says:

> 6.1.5 /usr/include : Header files included by C programs
> 
> These symbolic links are required if a C or C++ compiler is installed. 
> 
> 
>     /usr/include/asm -> /usr/src/linux/include/asm-<arch>
>     /usr/include/linux -> /usr/src/linux/include/linux

Isn't this directly against Debian policy, as well as generally agreed
to be a bad idea?

Also, question 4.10 of the Debian FAQ says

> The kernel headers distributed with the kernel source are
> located in /usr/include/linux/include/.

(End of second paragraph.) I suspect that's supposed to be
/usr/src/linux/include.
