The messages you're linking to are about two different problems:
- ABI version mismatch between src:linux and src:linux-latest. This
will be fixed soon, as I've combined the linux and linux-latest
source packages (only in experimental at the moment).
- Version mismatch between common (arch-independent) and flavour
(arch-dependent) linux-headers packages. This can't be fixed
without changes to the way backports suites work.
