I have also wondered this, but this is not T2 specific weirdness. I have
seen the same case in numerous other distros also. It has something to do
with Kernel internal structures and application level ABI interface of
kernel parts. For example see this web link: http://kerneltrap.org/node/6536
I don't know why T2 has different linux header package than the actual
supported kernel, but I have always assumed it has something to do with how
glibc and libc libraries are compiled in T2 (I have understood that some
people prefer to have kernel headers matching the version used to compile
libc or glibc package, not necessarly the same as kernel itself).
Other people just overwrite kernel headers package with the headers from
self-compiled kernel package. I'm part of this group because I use couple of
applications which expects to find latest Kernel enum and define entries.
I'd like to know what is the "correct" way to solve the difference between
"stock kernel headers" and "latest self-compiled kernel" headers?
