Currently kernel headers for default kernels are packaged only for
Fedora VMs (where you ca install it as kernel-devel package). If you
want to build some kernel module on Debian VM, you have those options:
1. Use kernel from Debian repository [1]
2. Extract kernel-devel[2] manually and use --kernelsourcedir option
3. Compile kernel manually

- From the above list, the first option surely works, but will result in
older kernel (currently Debian 8 uses 3.16 kernel). The other options
should also works, but I haven't tried.
