That might an useful thing for some persons, but I'm not sure it
belongs as a Debian package in the archive. I wouldn't object to it,
but -dev package are primarily present to satisfy build-dependencies.
IMO, people wanting to build everything themselves can also rebuild
madwifi from source to get the headers, but YMMV.
