Package: src:linux
Version: 4.15~rc5-1~exp1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

The new tools/ directory is currently symlinked from linux-kbuild-4.15
into linux-headers-common-4.15.0-rc5 (directory: /usr/src/linux-
headers-4.15.0-rc5-common/tools ) but not into linux-headers-4.15.0-
rc5-amd64 like scripts/ is.

This means objtool is available under /lib/modules/4.15.0-rc5-
amd64/source but not under /lib/modules/4.15.0-rc5-amd64/build which
means kernel modules builds via DKMS fail with:

/bin/sh: 1: ./tools/objtool/objtool: not found

Manually adding the symlink fixes the problem.

If this is indeed the right thing to do, I guess the dh_link that was
added for the -common stanza in debian/rules.real in commit
392435021b7fbec should also be added for the _$(ARCH one):

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi
