Hello.

Packages linux-headers-2.6.39-* in experimental are useless, since they
depend on linux-kbuild-2.6.39.

I do not use module-assistant, but I need kernel headers to build
third-party modules.  If the only supported way to do it is to download
linux-source-2.6.39, then, possibly, linux-headers-* should not be
uploaded to experimental at all?

Thank you for your work in Debian!
