I only build a headers package if I really need one. Most of the time I don't. That is one of the reasons I use make-kpkg rather than "make deb-pkg". With "make deb-pkg", I always get a headers package, whether I need one or not. But if I'm using "make-kpkg" and I really do need a headers package, I find that I need to run the entire make-kpkg command under fakeroot, like this: $ fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version xxx --revision xxx \ > --initrd kernel_image kernel_headers I haven't been able to get the kernel_headers target to work with the --rootcmd fakeroot option. (Obviously, the "xxx" strings in the above template command are not meant to be typed literally.) -- .''`.
