For 3.16 (and I assume for 3.14 also)

	#include <linux/version.h>

is supposed to use

	/usr/src/linux-headers-3.16-1-amd64/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h

which is shipped in linux-headers-3.16-1-amd64. (And similar for other
archs.)

How does your package determine that
/lib/modules/3.14-0.bpo.2-amd64/build wasn't configured?

Best regards
Uwe
