As long as you haven't munged your source tree since compiling the 
kernel, you can ln -s the kernel source directory to /usr/src/linux and 
use that as your headers.  Alternatively, you can make your 
kernel-headers package when you compile the kernel with 'fakeroot 
make-kpkg kernel_headers <rest of command you normally use>'.
