Bug#523726: linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64: source should point to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.29-1-common

[Brice Goglin <bgoglin@debian.org>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.29-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.29-2
Severity: important

Hello,

The way kernel headers are installed seem to have changed recently.
It breaks external module building because there is no easy way
to find all non-compile generated headers.

They were in /usr/src/linux-headers-*-amd64 earlier, now they are
in /usr/src/linux-headers-*-common/
I think symlink /lib/modules/2.6.29-1-amd64/source (which disappeared
btw?) should point to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.29-1-common/

This is what other distros such as Suse seem to be doing,
and I don't see any other easy way to solve this.

thanks,
Brice
