No doubt about that - I just jumped to conclusions again.

For that, we'd have to build a fixed linux-headers-2.6.18-4 package set.
Hence my request to Christian to apply the patch. I am not involved with
Debian kernel packaging myself, I just provide patches.
If it helps, I can reassign #396220 to linux-source-2.6.18 and add the
patch there.
