Bug#220517: linux-kernel-headers: I2C support broken, prevents building several packages
Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-9
Severity: important
For example:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../gfxdrivers/matrox -I../.. -I../../../include -I../../../src -D_REENTRANT -Wall -O3 -ffast-math -pipe -DFUSION_FAKE -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -c ../../../gfxdrivers/matrox/matrox_maven.c -fPIC -DPIC -o matrox_maven.lo

Given how libc6-dev has now become dependant upon linux-kernel-headers (why the hell wasn't libc6-dev designed to
accomodate an existing and reliable kernel-headers-2.4.xx to fulfill this dependency? ARGH!), I very much have to
consider this an important bug.
