[Bug 574785] [NEW] Does not copy generated include files to proper place

[EPx]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kernel-package

Not sure if this is a bug or an expected "feature" for people that need
to compile kernels. The packaging process generates
include/generated/*.h files which are not copied into include/linux, and
are not included in linux-headers package.

This makes e.g. VMWare Tools compilation to fail. Workaround is to copy
manually:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.34-rc5
cp include/generated/*.h include/linux/

Another related thing is that /lib/modules/<version> symlinks point to
the /usr/src/linux-<version> source tree, and not to the linux-headers
folder /usr/src/linux-headers-<version>, so even if linux-headers did
include the mentioned files, they would not be found, and the workaround
would be to change the symlinks.

Ubuntu version: Lucid
Latest kernel-package 
Kernel being compiled: 2.6.34-rc5
