You can't use a _only_ kernel header thing. A lot of modules out of
the kernel include for instance:
linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.h
and I think that some usb devices also need things from drivers/usb.
Believe me, it is everybody else life easier if you don't split
kernel-source. About the change of glibc-kernel-headers, I am on the
idea of removing the package completely, just included it in
glibc-devel.
Later, Juan.
