Are you sure you are using the per-flavour header packages
(linux-headers-2.6.14-2-<flavour> ?

Also, do you know about the external build module plan ? It is as follows :

  1) build-depend on linux-headers-2.6.14 or linux-headers-2.6.14-2-all.

  2) look at /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2/flavours for a list of supported
  flavours.

  3) for f in `cat /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.14-2/flavours`; do 
        ...
        make ... KSRC=/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-$f
	...
     done
