Hi,

The reason usb-serial.h is not in the linux-header package is because
usb-serial.h no longer exists.  As of July 11, 2006 usb-serial.h was
moved to a different location in the kernel source
(include/linux/usb/serial.h).  The following is the git log information
regarding the change:

:~/linux-2.6/include/linux/usb$ git log -p a969888ce91673c7f4b86520d851a6f0d5a5fa7d
commit a969888ce91673c7f4b86520d851a6f0d5a5fa7d

    [PATCH] USB: move usb-serial.h to include/linux/usb/
    
    USB serial outside of the kernel tree can not build properly due to
    usb-serial.h being buried down in the source tree.  This patch moves the
    location of the file to include/linux/usb and fixes up all of the usb
    serial drivers to handle the move properly.
