Description: Header files for Linux 3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64
  This package provides the architecture-specific kernel header files 
for Linux kernel 3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64, generally used
  for building out-of-tree kernel modules.  These files are going to be 
installed into
  /usr/src/linux-headers-3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64, and can be used for 
building modules that load into the kernel provided by the
  linux-image-3.16-0.bpo.2-amd64 package.
