yes, that's true.
the potential solution here are:
1) kernel-source-x.x.x-i386/alpha/whatever (bloaty)
2) make apt-get/dpkg support multiple platform .debs. this might be somewhat
tricky to implement, but it'd be the ideal solution. then again, there are
really only a few packages that *need* this, so it may not be strictly
necessary.
the main issue would probably go away if the kernel source debs would check
if it was i386, then tell the user to install bin86 etc, if it's alpha,
install whatever's needed on alpha.
or, alternatively, we could just say "if you can't figure this out on your
own, you suck, and should not use debian anyway." :)
