[Bug 446776] [NEW] hid-ids.h is not included - Needed

[gali98]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-headers-generic

In Karmic, the file:
/lib/modules/2.6.31-**-generic/build/drivers/hid/hid-ids.h

is not included for some reason. This file is needed to compile some programs. The one I need it for is the linux-wacom package (For Wacom tablets.) This is pretty important for that reason. 
The thing is, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git-repos/ubuntu/linux-2.6/drivers/hid/
has the file where it should be, but it is not anywhere on the computer.
A relevant ubuntu forums thread is here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270149
A workaround is to just download the file and paste into the correct spot, but this is a bad fix as any update to the package may result in it getting deleted/not updated to the right place. This file was in Jaunty as far as I know. (Since I never had a problem compiling the program.)
