Re: Potentially serious problem with kernel-headers...

If I understand the problem correctly (and I don't have the time right
now to consider this carefully, so take this with a grain of salt),
all you have to do is to make sure that you always install parallel
versions of kernel-image and kernel-headers.  If you're using
make-kpkg, you need to (at a minimum), always build and install both
the headers and image packages:

  ...
  $ fakeroot /usr/sbin/make-kpkg -revision host.1.0 kernel_image
  $ fakeroot /usr/sbin/make-kpkg -revision host.1.0 kernel_headers
  ...


(If you're not using make-kpkg to build and install your kernels, you
probably should be...)
