Hum...

From /usr/share/doc/linux-kernel-headers/README.Debian:

  - These headers can not be used to build kernel modules.  They're only
    for userspace use.
  [..]
  - These headers should generally not be included directly.  It's not a bug
    if you include one directly and something breaks.

They are for userspace use but should not be used :-/
That's a bit misleading...
