If you take a look at the libc and libc-dev packages you will see that /usr/include/linux and /usr/include/asm belong to those packages. This is because those headers must match the kernel to with _libc_ was compiled against. If there is an API change between the kernel that libc was compiled with and the one kernel that you're using, you're going to SHOOT YOURSELF IN THE FOOT! Don't do it. Get out of the habit. Nate
