Unfortunately there's _no_ kernel-kbuild-2.6.7 package, there are only
for 2.6.5 and 2.6.6. On the other side there isn't a kernel-image-2.6.6
nor -2.6.5 while there is a kernel-source-2.6.7 and -2.6.6.

Another question is the dependences. kernel-kbuild-2.6.6 depends only on
libc6 while kernel-build-2.4.26 depends on the related kernel-header
packages.

IMO it would make sense to either have all releated packages of a kernel
version or none at all. I hope when Debian/sarge is released this is
corrected.
