linux-libc-dev defines the interface the kernel provides.  Random
packages overriding that makes for nasty surprises.

So there are multiple solutions:
- Rename the header and move out of the linux dir.
- Move the header outside of /usr/include and explicitely use this
  directory in the include path.

Because diverts are kind of sledgehammers.  Without coordination they
break stuff.
