Yes, but if you can build and install your own kernels, and
juggle them as needed, you can solve that problem quite easily ;-)

Yes, but few thigs depend on a kernel-image package, and the
kernel-image package depends on fewer still. There are a few special
packages (pcmcia is one that springs to mind) that do require you
register your kernel image package with dpkg, and amke-kpkg handles
that for you.

Umm, I don't think so. I don't think the raw kernl
installation process ever mucked with /usr.include.
