You really shouldn't use the header files in /usr/include/linux for
anything if you can help it; they're only there because some things in
libc depend on them. (See /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian for more
details.) If you need to build a kernel module you need a kernel
source tree corresponding to your kernel; if you're running a
Debian-provided kernel, you can use the appropriate kernel-source-*
package for this purpose.
