Now that waldi has gencontrol.py creating dummy packages and rules for
the various linux-image and linux-header packages, we can throw the
all-headers package back in.  There was some issue of what it should
actually be called, however..  Calling it linux-headers-2.6.12-1-i386
doesn't work too well for all archs, since we end up w/
linux-headers-2.6.12-1-powerpc, which conflicts w/ the name of a flavour.
Suggestions?
