One may un-shlock one's system (whatever that means) by simply
rm -rf /usr/src/linux and re run the config command (either in
dslect, or as dpkg -c -a). Quite simple. The kernel-headers package
shall configure itself with no further fuss.

There is, in fact, no reason to believe that any given natural
phenomenon, however marvelous it may seem today, will remain forever
inexplicable. Soon or late the laws governing the production of life
itself will be discovered in the laboratory, and man may set up
business as a creator on his own account. The thing, indeed, is not
only conceivable; it is even highly probable. Mencken, 1930
