So, kernel-headers/kernel-source change the /usr/src/linux symlink to
point to the "currently installed" header/source in a directory like
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.32?

So, to keep from getting clobbered by the installation of a different
header or source file, libc6-dev should create its links to
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.0.32/include/{linux, asm-386}, right?
