Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.135
Severity: normal

Hi,

I had to compile some out-of-kernel modules. On a machine using a Debian
'stock' kernel kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp, I ran apt-get install
kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686-smp (which depends on kernel-headers-2.6.8-2
which depends on kernel-kbuild-2.6-3) and the compilation of the module
went fine.

However, on another machine running a patched kernel build from
kernel-source-2.6.11*.deb using 'make-kpkg --append-to-version blah
binary' I am unable to build that modules. After installing the headers
from kernel-headers*.deb, some files seem to be missing, specifically
the 'scripts' directory.

kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-686-smp symlinks 'scripts' via
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2/scripts to
/usr/src/kernel-kbuild-2.6-3/scripts.

Shouldn't my own made kernel-headers-2.6.11*.deb contain that 'scripts'
directory as well?

Thanks,
-- Marc.
