Re: What's Debian's /usr/src policy
I think that /usr/src should the be domain of the local admin.
I don't think kernel-{header,source}-x.xx.deb should exist, really,
because I don't think source code should be distributed as .deb files
anyway. So I'm not unhappy about making a policy decision that leaves
kernel-{header,source} with nowhere good to go.
Why does libc6 depend on kernel-header ?

This may be the case if you look at all packages, but I have never
installed any packages that did this, and if I had I would have
reported it as a bug.
What's new is that packages wanted even by people who think they own
/usr/src might actually install there.
