Try "are no longer supplied by raw kernel source" instead.
They damn well better exist, cleaned up for non-kernel use.

Too late. You're WAY too late. This is on a Debian box:

$ /bin/ls -ldog /usr/include/linux
drwxr-xr-x 11 root 28672 Jun 4 19:41 /usr/include/linux

As you can see, a kernel upgrade would do nothing to
change the headers in /usr/include/linux.
