Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 3.16.7-ckt20-1+deb8u1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I wanted to write some C code to learn the Direct Rendering Manager interface,
without using libdrm. Googling found me this tutorial [1]. I didn't get very far
because I was missing <drm/drm.h>. "Userspace headers from the Linux kernel" are
both provided by linux-libc-dev and present in the include/uapi directory of the
linux-headers of /usr/src. My /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16.../include/uapi has
nine directories: asm-generic, drm, linux, mtd, rdma, scsi, sound, video, and
xen. All of these except drm and scsi are in linux-libc-dev, and libc6 has scsi.
Extensive googling has led me to believe that no Debian package other than the
linux-headers has the drm headers, and none have them in /usr/include. It seems
like this package should include the drm headers.

Thank you for your consideration.

You want libdrm-dev.
