Kernel-sources Linux-headers and so on : which one for what purpose ?

[Karl Hegbloom]

In /lib/modules/$(uname -r) you may find the symlinks named "build" and
"source".  If you install the linux-headers package that matches your
installed kernel, see if the "build" symlink changes.  It should point
to the newly installed kernel headers, in /usr/src/linux-headers-VER.

Software that requires the kernel headers is supposed to look through
that symlink to find them.
