That's the important thing: building of the package _must not_ depend on
the version of the installed kernel. If the kernel interface changes
from one kernel version to another, then the package _must_ check for
the change at run-time and not at compile-time. And that means the
package must be built with the headers from the latest kernel version it
is designed to support.
