libc6-dev no longer depends on any kernel headers package. It incorporates
the kernel headers directly and installs them in
/usr/include/{asm,linux,scsi} directly, with no symlinks. Installing any
header package no longer has any effect on these files.

Programs that wish to link against specific header files should do so
using the -I option on the compiler command line.
