This occurs because Debian supplies its own versions of the include
files with libc6, instead of symlinking /usr/include/linux to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux.
See /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian.gz. Specifically, "If there is
just one particular program/package that needs different headers,
and your kernel of choice is installed in the usual place, you can use
the -I/usr/src/linux/include option on the gcc command line, when compiling
that specific program."
