make headers_install

Hi David, I tried to update my kernel headers using the instructions in
Documentation/make/headers_install.txt. I followed the example:
make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr/include
but it installed them in /usr/include/include. So I modified the path:
make headers_install INSTALL_HDR_PATH=/usr
The command installed the headers, but then automatically deleted
/usr/include/*.h (nasty!). This is with kernel 2.6.35.4.
Do the docs need an update (and I should always be installing to a staging
area?) Or is this a bug in the process -- where is should be removing
unknown files in /usr/include/linux or similar?
I seem to remember that I used to be able to install headers direct to the
system, is this still the case?
Thanks
