There is no missing symlinks because Debian doesn't do such hackish
practices to begin with.  Symlinks are not the Right Thing (TM) to do to
manage header libraries; the "-I<dir>" option to gcc is.  You should
really read /usr/share/doc/kernel-package/README.headers.  It is both
enlightening and correct. ;-)

That being said, you'll find the documentation you need from, what else
(grin) google:
