ftp.<area>.kernel.org. area is where you are i.e. us, eu, ca. now for more important things, if.h should not disappear. Installing a kernel should not affect it. It should be part of libc-dev. Now, when you install a kernel do NOT place headers from the kernel on your system. Use make-kpkg to make a deb of the kernel image and just install it. libc6 came about in part to reduce the need for kernel headers.
