I am surprised this build worked, the includes in the 
/usr/src/linux-headers-<version>-common are needed for the build to 
work, I would expect exactly the error in files you had attached.

Perhaps the contents of /usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) were fixed to 
include parts of -common?

An alternative (for building) is:

sh autogen.sh && ./configure --disable-server 
--with-linux=/usr/src/linux-headers-<version>-common 
--with-linux-obj=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r)  && make dkms-debs

However the resulting dkms packages will not pickup the linux/obj fix.

I pushed a patch that fixes the configure for Debian so the dkms build 
should succeed.
