Attached patch installs the kernel headers into the UML package. But it is not the equivalent of the kernel header packages shipped by the Debian Kernel team. Many of the arch/ specific headers as well as the Module symbol versions file is missing.
Thus this does not help in building kernel modules for packages like iscsitarget, dkms etc. Perhaps someone could take and extend it further to provide proper support.
