Thanks for your patch, and sorry for the slow response. However, instead of having a special case for -rc kernels, I'd prefer to either have a way of specifying a custom Linux kernel tarball for linux-headers, or even better, a way of using the same kernel headers source code as the ones used to build the Linux kernel package itself.
So, for now, I'll mark this specific patch as Rejected, but I'll definitely welcome improvements in one of the two directions proposed above.
Thanks again!
Thomas
