But `kernel-source-2.0.32' and `kernel-headers-2.0.32' are
`Architecture: all', so *the same headers* are used by all the archs,
without the possibility to avoid it. However, on Sparc we use a
different set of kernel includes, which modify not only the asm-sparc/
directory, but also the linux/ one. This was easy to fix before:
/usr/include/linux/whatever.h was inside libc6-dev_*_sparc.deb; but
now that file is inside kernel-*_all.deb.
Do you understand my problem with this?
