in our old spell it ended up that /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build was actually
a
symlink to /usr/src/linux (because it was the dir the modules were installed
from) you might find that this package doesn't specifically
use /usr/src/linux at all.
But if it does we can fix it, there is really no good reason for
a /usr/src/linux link or directory.
The glibc headers will reside in /usr/include/*
the kernel sources are available from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build (you can
guild your kernels in /home if you really want, the location doesn't matter)
/usr/src/linux is unneeded and messy.
