Hi, The canned response comes from the readme file included with the kernel headers package. It has been gleaned from various discussions on the Debian Lists, and from private email from David Engel and Linus Torvalds.
I am given to understand that Linus will incorporate language to recommend not using the symlinks when glibc 2.0 comes in wider use (since that library also provides it's own /usr/include/linux etc). The GNU libc v2.0 is where Linux is headed for (libc6). That library follows the conventions used in Debian today, so we all have to get used to this. Also, look at /usr/doc/libc5/FAQ.gz (It is a subset of my canned response, but is a more widely circulated document) manoj -- Diplomacy is the art of saying "nice doggy" until you can find a rock.
