The way I understand it, 'includes' is header files for normal C development
and 'source' is a superset with the kernel-related goodies. If you want to
rebuild the kernel (and who wouldn't? :) ), you need 'source'.
Presumably, installing 'includes', then installing 'source' would replace
'includes' files.
