Nothing - that is the intended behavior of kernel-package. (At least,
if I remember my conversation with Manoj correctly..)

The belief being that if users build their own kernel, then that build
tree is the desired place for the symlink to point.

I'm not sure what the best way is to make this automatically point to
the headers dir.
