Well, of course those other two files are derived files, so the

The linux-headers thing is going to be a real headache.  How do you
build-depend on that properly so that it works on all architectures?

I am not sure to be honest. I had thought that the linux-kernel- headers
package was just a meta package that would pull in the correct headers
package for the kernel image installed but I am not sure. Hopefully if that is the case you can just depend on linux-kernel-headers and the rest would
take care of itself.

I've just had a look at the daily CVS snapshot of am-utils, and they will have fixed this properly in 6.1.6. They're fixing autoconf, as per your original suggestion, but a different way - not using the utsrelease header, but using Fedora's code, which changes it to use a different symbol from version.h instead.

Anyway, the change works, and I am backporting it to the 6.1.5 package now, so it'll be in 6.1.5-6
