Does not copy generated include files to proper place

[EPx]

Binary package hint: kernel-package

Not sure if this is a bug or an expected "feature" for people that need to compile kernels. The packaging process generates include/generated/*.h files which are not copied into include/linux, and are not included in linux-headers package.

This makes e.g. VMWare Tools compilation to fail. Workaround is to copy manually:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.34-rc5
cp include/generated/*.h include/linux/

Another related thing is that /lib/modules/<version> symlinks point to the /usr/src/linux-<version> source tree, and not to the linux-headers folder /usr/src/linux-headers-<version>, so even if linux-headers did include the mentioned files, they would not be found, and the workaround would be to change the symlinks.

Ubuntu version: Lucid
Latest kernel-package
Kernel being compiled: 2.6.34-rc5

Actually, the include/generated files ARE included in linux-headers package.
