I don't think this a good solution. Now all programs break which expect
this very i2c-dev.h as being staged by i2c-tools. Interestingly, the
desktop distros don't bother about staging it differently, so why
can't we do the same? Besides, the i2c-dev.h as staged by i2c-tools
is supposed to be a superset. If it isn't we should complain with the
i2c-tools developers.

What can we do in the meantime?
