No. My /usr/src was empty. I just had libc6-dev with asm and linux "in
place" before the upgrade.

Now I have purged both packages (libc6-dev and kernel-headers) and
installed them again and it seems to work.

However, I noticed that kernel-headers postinst is written in perl...
Perhaps perl was messed up at upgrade time in my machine (?).

Mmm, is there not any policy saying that we should prefer /bin/sh scripts
to /usr/bin/perl scripts in postinsts? ...
