Bug Description

To bootstrap cross compiler kernel headers are needed. Those can be built with "DEB_HOST_ARCH=armel fakeroot debian/rules install-arch-headers" and then copy from debian/tmp/ to target destination but it is not nice way imho.

This patch adds "DEB_STAGE=headers" variable which skips building kernel (which is impossible due to lack of cross compiler) so only packages with headers will get built.

As discussed on IRC, this seem ok in principle for the cross-compile use case. I think that flavours should not need zapping, will work with the author to clean this up.

After discussion with Andy I rewrote code. DEB_STAGE=stage1 allows to build linux-libc-dev package without going to kernel build.

This patch applies on top of maverick kernel tree with "git am".
