Several things are in the glibc-kernel-headers that definitely aren't
normal:
1) it installs all headers, i386, ppc, sparc, ...
2) the /usr/include/asm it installs has files for /usr/include/mach-*,
those are supposed to be directories, and always have been as far as i
can tell
3) for some reason /usr/include/asm/mach-* don't get removed on dispel
of glibc-kernel-headers, leading to glibc cast failing when it tries to
copy the kernel headers

The ISO should always use stable grimoire and stable sorcery, as that's
what users are supposed to use after installing, and downgrading stuff
is not what we plan for when working on the grimoire.
