I feel we're at cross-purposes here. What I would like to have is the
possibility to build a linux-kernel-headers package that _doesn't_
install 2.6 headers to /usr/include, leaving the 2.4 kernel headers
intact.
A package needing 2.6 headers could depend on my local
linux-kernel-headers package and carry
-I/usr/include/linux-kernel-headers in its Makefile.
I don't see where this setup would break the local libc.
Greetings
Marc
