I understand that is the current situation. But I think that the idea is
to merge the arch-specific headers package. This would lead us with a
common kernel-headers-2.6.12 package across all arches, and then
per-flavour kernel-headers-2.6.12-flavour packages, which are largely
symlinks. Do you think there is a reason this should not be done?
