No. kernel-package is a tool to help you create a kernel image package
from the source. You need to install the kernel-source-2.x.x package
seperately.

'apt-get install kernel-source-2.2.19' (for example) will do that for
you - you need to choose which version you want, of course.

IMHO the kernel-package docs need lots of careful reading - others seem
to agree, or have given up on it :-)
