Yes the headers are there in the sources of 3.18.5 kernel.But then I have to change all the references to linux/<header_files.h> in my modules to the path of <kernel_source>/include/linux/<header_files.h>.This could be corrective action.I am looking for preventive action .
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION appends whatever name we want to append after the kernel version.
I was looking for downloading the kernel headers for the custom kernel I built whose name has been changed to 3.18.5-custom.
uname -r give => 3.18.5-custom. :( (cant use it sudo apt-get install linux-header-$(uname-r) :(

Your headers for ‘-custom’ kernel will be under the folder where you have downloaded 3.18.5 kernel.
