Are you referring to /Programs/Linux-Headers? As I understand it, that's
only the kernel headers for which the current libc is compiled against,
and not the headers corresponding to the actually installed kernel. So,
we need both.

I think the source in lucas Linux package is a minimized one, only
useful to compile modules against. I think this is very nice if one
doesn't want to download the whole kernel source.
