An autoconf.h is provided by linux-kernel-headers in 
/usr/include/linux/autoconf.h. It is only provided for use with glibc, 
rather than intending to match the running kernel.

version.h and autoconf.h for pre-packaged kernels are available in the
matching package kernel-headers-<version> for each. Then the headers are
installed in /usr/src/kernel-headers-<version>.

<version> is always the same as `uname -r`.

Hence,

There is also a symlink, /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build ->
/usr/src/kernel-headers-`uname -r` which I gather is something of a
standard now (?).
