Here is the README.Debian for the linux-kernel-headers package:
---
This package is a snapshot of the headers shipped with a particular version
of the Linux kernel. A couple things to keep in mind about it:
- These headers can not be used to build kernel modules. They're only
for userspace use.
- These headers do not need to match your running kernel. They're only
for the use of GNU libc and other C libraries.
- These headers should generally not be included directly. It's not a bug
if you include one directly and something breaks.
Some day, the hope is to replace these with a separate copy of "ABI headers"
describing only the kernel's exposed interface. Those headers will probably
be directly usable, as these are not.
