Que? Say what? Since when? We already had a different set of kernel
includes for i386 and m68k in the respective libc6-dev debs (i.e. in
libc6-dev << 2.0.6). There's no reason why a libc6-dev-$(ARCH) set of
debs would be needed. I've no idea why David chose to seperate the
includes out (I haven't been following the thread (deliberately)), but
this was not it.
