Does this imply that kernel-source does not contain enough information
to build a kernel module?!?  You __need__ the full kernel installed to
build a module?!?  If so, all I can say is that that... sucks.  How
are you supposed to build a module against a non-installed kernel, or
for multiple archictures of the same kernel?
