Comment(by ch...@…):
Generally, I would be the last person to suggest any additional user
handholding, but I think it may be warranted here. Yes, the page does
mention that it's for installing headers from the kernel tarball, but
arguably that could also mean that the headers from the kernel tarball
have been copied into some other package (which I believe is pretty much
what used to be done when "linux-libc-headers" was used, and then later
the "linux-headers" package that CLFS had for a while) - a number of users
do look for some package with "api headers" in the name, then come and ask
what's going on when they can't find it.
No, I don't think it's the same as specifying that the Glibc tarball must
be used for installing Glibc, or anything else...the potential for
confusion stems mainly from the fact that the page title doesn't match the
tarball name.
Anyway, just stating my opinion...I won't try to push this any further, so
just feel free to ignore me if you happen to disagree...
