Yes, those headers did not always match the features of the current
kernel,
so --enable-kvm did not work. This is fixed now - there is a
linux-libc-dev
2.6.29-3 which is up-to-date.
So, at the moment I see no need to fill the QEMU source tree with
linux header files.
We can not just rely on everyone who uses QEMU to use the latest
version of Debian...
The fact is, linux-libc-dev is *not* meant for applications to use as
the official kernel ABI. We shouldn't depend on it.
At least on Fedora, kernel-headers is. It is installed in
/usr/include/linux and is synced (sorta) to the installed kernel.
Carrying a subset of kernel headers is a bit too much, IMO.
kvm is a special case since it is available externally.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
