The kernel version you are using was intended for testing only.  The
corresponding linux-headers packages are not available for download,
and no further testing of this version is needed.

All the DRM changes made in this test version have also been included
in the official Debian package version 3.2.39-1.  You should upgrade
linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64, reboot into the new kernel version, and
then remove linux-image-3.2.0-4.drm-amd64.
