Doesn't patch-o-matic update the ones in iptables-version/include/linux?
    So the the kernel and the iptables are built from the same headers? 
(Is this desired)
   
Or would it benefit iptables to include all the updated headers in 
iptables-version/include/linux?

I don't mean to be pest on this, I just want the best solution possible 
for anyone who uses iptables.
