[OpenAFS] OpenAFS-client Module Fails (Debian-Sarge)!!!

[ted creedon]

Make mrproper
Make modules_prepare

Is supposed generate headers from /proc/config.gz which is the .config file
for the running kernel.

Sometimes this gets the headers in sync with the kernel. Sometimes not.

I didn't think kernel-headers was enough to build OpenAFS.  Am I wrong on
that?  (I noticed a while back that the openafs-client documentation doesn't
really say a lot about this, and I can get that updated.)

Yeah, module-assistant rocks.  I should start using that myself; I just
discovered it a few days ago.
