BTW, what about the image and headers both providing the build symlink, except
for official images which will not, and using the alternatives mechanism, with
the header symlink having the bigger priority ? This way everyone is happy, it

We still need to provide stong conflict between official packages and compiled
from random source reusing the same name.
