Package: linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common
Version: 2.6.32-15
If /usr/src is symlinked to a different location, the symlinks within the package for 'Kbuild' and 'scripts' end up being broken since ../.. traverses from the actual location.
This is likely a problem for all the versions of this package, as well as other versions of the kernel.

This behaviour is mandated by the policy, §10.5.
