My system has kernel-headers-2.2.14 installed in
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.14 and in subdirectories from here. Usually the
headers are also provided in the kernel-source packages (which I normally
get from kernel.org). I have an organization question.

I know that /usr/include is the place to put header files for most
development. The kernel headers are broken up into sections. for example:

/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.14/include/linux/
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.14/include/scsi/
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.14/include/video

sometimes the directory structure in /usr/include doesn't match exactly with
the kernel-header package. For example, under the linux directory in the
kernel-header package there is no Raid directory, but there are some raid
related files. But the include directory has:

/usr/include/linux/raid/

some of the files in this directory are not in the kernel headers and some
are. So my question then is, what is the best way to organize things if I
install a new kernel header package? it seems that this series of
directories can get pretty messed up.

quite frankly, I think the kernel-header package should just install things
in the correct locations in /usr/include instead of creating a dir in
/usr/src, but that's my opinion.
