The same as now: nowhere, because those packages have been removed from
the archive already.

And sadly you did not answer the question why a second degree error must
not be worse then a worked around first degree error?

If it would be so easy.  This would include all the generated things of
the build.  But it still needs all the static headers, all the support
binaries and scripts (shipped as linux-kbuild-*), which also change with
every version.
