Shouldn't debian/control mention this dependency?

Of course I understand that there is no backport of glibc. AFAICS
the conflict in Jessie has been introduced by the backports kernel,
ignoring old glibc. This is even more painful, since 4.9.x is
supposed to be a LTS kernel.

IMU <linux/if.h> should either look at the glibc version number,
or avoid the double definitions using "#ifndef".

What would you suggest?
