Looks like there's a bug in /scripts/package/builddeb. On lines 188, 197
and 198, the variable $version is used. However, it's not defined
(removed with recent changes).
This causes the headers to be put into /usr/src/linux-headers-. When the
next version is attempted to be installed, the following error occurs.
$ sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-6.3.0-rc4_6.3.0-rc4-2_riscv64.deb
