I spoke with Adam Heath about it; he told me he had a more-or-less working
patch he was working on.. hope that it gets stable soon to merge with dpkg.

Please append your additional ideas to bug #118910. Having a more complete
description will hopefuly draw attention to it :)

The problem is that this is hard-coded in make-kpkg. We could use
kernel-headers-<kernel><version> untill it gets fixed (if ever),
like kernel-headers-netbsd1.5.2
