Might having both linux-source and linux headers cause a problem?  I
didn't think so, but since linux-source provides the
/usr/src/linux/include/ files, it would at at least be an unneeded
duplication.  My understanding is the the linux-headers packages are
only for those cases where one needs the kernel headers to compile
something other than a kernel when the kernel source is not installed.
