I have heard discussion on this list before about why debian does this;  I
don't want to argue why;;

But will it break anything major if I don't follow this guideline, and esp.
is there a temporary way to set things up 'the old way'?  Most of what I
compile right now wants kernel headers so it can be compatible with the
current kernel (ie kernel utilities and patches.)  For example I have kernel
utilities which use #include<linux/something.h> and I keep catching them
raiding the /usr/include directory.
