	Umm, one would never need install both these packages, since
 kernel-source is a superset of the kernel-headers package. I mean, if
 you have kenel-source, you already have kernle-headers.

	Also, you can just get the pristine upstream sources (you do
 loose any bug fixes to the kernel put in by the debian maintainer),
 and get the kernel-package package to help with the compilation.

	I personally prefer the kernel-source package (at the same
 version number) to the upstream sources since that means that someone
 has already ironed out problens that I may face otherwise.
