That's one problem. Another is that people seem to try to circumvent the
dependency.
I'd suggest doing a libc6-khdr_2.0.32-4.deb instead, that installs into
/usr/include/{asm,linux}. (Btw, that one would probably be Architecture:
any, not all.)
This name should make it clear to people that this package is part of
libc6 - people don't seem to believe this of kernel-headers.
