The kernel-devsrc package contains much more than is explicitly required just to build external kernel modules (a full kernel source tree isn't required), and the kernel-dev package doesn't install enough.

I would expect this -headers package to contain a subset of what -devsrc is currently installing; might an option be to make the -devsrc package depend on this -headers package? Josh
