We just recently had the discussion of how many documented processes
will get broken with the kernel-source -> kernel-sourcecode
change. Not having it at all doesn't really improve that. ;)

What's the idea behind this? And what about people building external
kernel modules? For the reasons outlined in the previous thread on
this /lib/modules/`uname -r` is not adequate for that. Having the
kernel-source package change its name is one thing we can adapt
to (even though it was not necessary). Having it disappear for the
face of earth is another :(

Please, get it back!
