Meanwhile explicitly state that the headers are uapi headers.

There are many internal-use targets, which are not documented in the
help message.
I assume this one is the case.

If users want to install UAPI headers, 'headers_install' is
the user-visible interface and it is already documented.



hpa and Boris prefer to add it, which I also agree. But ofc it's your
call :)

If you don't want to add help for "headers", it probably still makes
sense to explicitly state that the headers are uapi headers, no?

Thanks!

If a help message for "headers" is desired, how about this?

headers - Build read-to-install uapi headers in usr/include


LGTM.

I guess you will make the change right now?

Thanks!
