linux-headers lying about kernel version is breaking other module packages

["Lennart Sorensen" <lsorense@csclub.uwaterloo.ca>]

I was trying to compile loop-aes-source, but it keeps failing.  For some
reason it kept thinking the kernel version was 2.6, when it is in
fact 3.16.  The problem is that it looks at the VERSION and PATCHLEVEL
in the Makefile of the headers, which for some reason is being modified
to read 2 and 6 in the debian kernel package.

What is the point in doing this?  Why punish module source packages that
correctly know how to handle 3.x kernels just to deal with old broken
ones that assumed 2.6 forever?
