I thought all of the derivative kernel-header packages
were suppose to include the vanilla kernel-header-x.y.z-r package
also? Just testing a few in dselect seems to select the base
version also for me on my current system (x86 though, not
x86_64).
Anyway, yes, installing the kernel-headers-2.6.8-11
package itself will probably fix your problem. I'm not sure if
it's just kernel-headers-2.6.8-11 off the top of my head or
whether the -amd64 will be on the end also.
