no you don't, and should NOT symlink /usr/include/anything to
/usr/src/linux/anything that is plain wrong.

the problem is the latest libc6-dev package is broken and missing the
header files which are installed in /usr/include/asm and such.  this
will be fixed shortly, or probably already is.  

 Though I wonder what made me suddenly need the symlink, if I didn't have

you don't, and should not have one.  put it back the way it was, and
upgrade libc6-dev.  

 it before, or what made me lose it if I did have it before.  (I notice I
 did already have an asm-i386 symlink pointing to the right place, just
 not an asm link.)

these header files are provided by libc under debian, as they should
be.
