You don't need the .config file as the headers package have already
gone through a make oldconfig + make dep.  And since we're talking
about Debian packages here, architecture, cross-compilation prefix,
toolchains etc. are meaningless.  Compilation options is the only
remaining concern, but again since we're working within the same
distribution, they tend to remain fairly static so it isn't a huge
problem.  Anyway, it wouldn't be hard to provide them in some
meaningful way, perhaps as a Makefile include file.  I might look into
that for the next release.
