   Hi,   
      
   we have been disagreeing a bit about who should provide linux kernel   
   headers for cross compilation until Brest and in that discussion the   
   argument that them going out of sync could cause problems, but we never   
   had any practical evidence of that happening.   
      
   Enter input-utils. It started failing lately   
   https://crossqa.debian.net/src/input-utils, but what looks like a   
   regression of an upload actually is pure coincidence with a concurrent   
   linux upload.   
      
   The package contains a name.sh that parses macros from   
   /usr/include/linux/input-event-codes.h using awk and then emits tables.   
   Those tables are then compiled using a (cross) compiler that happens to   
   use c-t-b's older version of the file and lacks the #define of   
   SW_USB_INSERT. It is not clear to me whether this is a sensible use, but   
   it practically demonstrates the claim that the desync may cause   
   problems.   
      
   We have since agreed on letting linux provide the packages, so this   
   issue will resolve itself before too long and all this message does is   
   document another reason. We may also conclude that this kind of problem   
   is exceptional.
