I was not aware that kernel headers were already present in all
toolchains. Thanks for spotting my mistake. I'll send a v2 adding a
dependency on headers 4.12 as this is the real issue.

However, it should be noted that we have an "issue" with the iputils
package as it has an optional dependency on linux-headers since commit
9ffcd9279e5505535a73cf1200b3a86fd425cf32.
I assume that this dependency is also not needed?
