Please don't cc me on mailing list messages, the duplicate gets junked
anyway here so it's a waste of resources. I mean, if I'm going to read a
reply to something I wrote in a mailing list, I want to read the replies
there as well, so that I can refer to the context of the thread if
necessary (I don't have all those threads in my personal inbox of course!)

Yes, but:
- the original message made it look like the asm/ headers were being
included directly:

- if libc6-dev doesn't have /usr/include/asm anymore, I would assume
that the /usr/include/sys/ headers would not try to reference asm/
anymore, hence making the point above more likely.
