well, speaking from my own experience, the kernel source given by Debian
does not have a version.h.  However, the kernel-headers *do*, so if you
have the kernel-headers for your kernel installed, that is what
/usr/src/linux should be pointed to, as long as you're going to compile
against headers there.  of course, /usr/src/linux isn't really the way of
doing things the way i understand it...but that should help you at least.
