It needs to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. In general though, if you need access to something that is not provided by glibc, you'll have to setup a local header file and maintain it yourself as new kernel releases come out. I wouldn't expect the Debian maintainer to have to go through this though, as this is something that must be dealt with in the upstream util-linux package. -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is out!
