Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-5
Severity: normal
To compile some apps, I add to use recent kernel headers and
thus linked by hand asm,scsi,linux using symbolic links directly
to the real linux includes. Installing the linux-kernel-headers
packages screwed my real kernel includes.
As I know many people do this to get accurate API/constant (even if its
arguably a mistake).
I think testing for symblic link and removing them is easy in
preinst and could save a lot of problems...
