Package: linux-headers-2.6.29-1-amd64
Version: 2.6.29-1
Severity: normal

Historically, /usr/src/linux-headers-VERSION-FLAVOR used to contain
symlinks into /usr/src/linux-headers-VERSION-common for anything not at
least potentially flavor-specific.  As of 2.6.29-1, that no longer
holds, causing trouble for packages such as openafs-modules-source that
don't entirely defer to the kbuild framework.  (OpenAFS is particularly
special due to its age and support for a wide range of platforms, and
makes symlinks to /lib/modules/VERSION-FLAVOR/build/include/linux in
its build tree so that it can variously include the headers as <h/*.h>,
<netinet/*.h>, and <sys/*.h>.)

I have worked around the problem on my own system by throwing together
a package containing a portion of the dropped symlinks (those from and
into .../linux), but would appreciate it if you could please reinstate
the symlinks in the flavor-specific linux-headers packages.

Thanks!
