Yes, this has not worked out in quite the way expected. This was perceived
to be low risk as we were moving into line with the Debian upstream way of
handling these headers. That seems to have been an erroneous assumption.
In that the current Debian upstream state is also broken.

The drm header collision was spotted recently and although we proposed
removing the headers for drm from the change, it was decided that
updating drm to Replaces: the files was a smaller change and would
prevent the need to rebuild the kernel. This doesn not seem to have
worked out right either.

Given the mess that has resulted, it does seem premature to have this
change in Intrepid for sure. Will coordinate getting this sorted out.
