I have no idea why this package moves a kernel headers to a different
name. Obviously it can break quite a lot of userspace
applications/libraries. I don't really understand why they are doing
this.

That being said, I don't think the ossaudio Python module is very
useful, so disabling its build is probably the right thing to do for
host-python, and for target python, make it optional.

Thanks,

Thomas
