This occurs because Debian supplies its own versions of the include files with libc6, instead of symlinking /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux. See /usr/share/doc/libc6/README.Debian.gz. Specifically, "If there is just one particular program/package that needs different headers, and your kernel of choice is installed in the usual place, you can use the -I/usr/src/linux/include option on the gcc command line, when compiling that specific program."
