linux-source-3.4.0 does not contains debian/stamps/ directory

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

Armel-cross-toolchain-base is using linux-source-3.4.0 to build linux-libc-dev package for armel (same for armhf package). Since 3.4.0-2.6 it failed:

I checked why it happened. Normal linux source package contains "debian/stamps/" directory but it is not present in "linux-source-3.4.0" package which I use.

There are few possible solutions:

1. add "debian/stamps/" into linux-source-3.4.0
2. add "install -d debian/stamps/" into 'clean' target of "linux" package
3. add "install -d linux-source-$(VER_LINUX)/debian/stamps/" into "armel-cross-toolchain-base" package

For now I went with last option as this is package which I maintain but would like to know should I provide patch for 1st or 2nd solution.
