I don't know what /usr/include/xattr/ is but /usr/include/linux/ is where the kernel-headers are supposed to end up. I'm guessing /usr/include/xattr/ is the glibc function definitions? (my glibc function definitions for xattrs are in /usr/include/sys/xattr.h)
I sent a patch to export them all. I didn't cc stable since it clearly change more than it needs to, but we really should send something to stable....
