linux-libc-dev started shipping header files not needed for 99% of it's 
users.  The default usage of linux-libc-dev is the availability of the 
user facing header files for native builds.  These make up likely 99% or 
more of the use cases. There is no need to add extra stuff like the 
header files for any other architecture.  These should be split out into 
separate packages.

Please optimize for our users, not the space of a package on a ftp 
mirror, or for cross build users (which also don't need these header 
files all at a time).
