The last ABI break was on Aug 23; and it's only used by aufs-tools. The
idea of including it in linux-libc-dev just seems better than all other
options. So I don't know how stable the ABI really is, but I have only
seen 2 ABI breaks since March.
I could also include the header file into the aufs-tools source package
like btrfs-tools does but I just think it's better to include it here,
especially considering Debian derivatives.
