Finding a way to detect if people have kernel sources available that

Looking in  /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/  and/or
/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/source/ is probably the best you can do (and
doing that makes sense - at least to me)...


Yeah,
I alway thought that this was the correct way...

And theese links are also found on Mandriva...

Not to mention Ati & nVidia installers that also check for theese links...
