It makes no sense to have the DRM headers split between libdrm-dev and
linux-libc-dev. I'm happy to have libdrm-dev provide them all. What do
you want to do?

Q. Which is the greater problem in the world today, ignorance or apathy?
A. I don't know and I couldn't care less.

I think we should go back to libdrm-dev installing the headers. I sent
a patch to dri-devel a few days ago that makes libdrm install its
headers in $(includedir)/libdrm so they don't conflict with the ones
installed by the kernel, waiting for some feedback on that…
