Thanks for your answer Alex, I don't agree with you on this topic. The headers will be clearly identified as associated with a specific version of Nagios. They are not a API and they don't have to be stable in time, from one version to another. People build things around Nagios, so it is a user need, and not providing these files (which exist anyway and are included in other packages (see the check-mk package, in the livestatus.tar.gz file) force people to embed these files in their own Debian package for no good reason except that the Nagios package does not provide a headers package.
