Sure, if you want to program in C without ever using any header files
with #include.  [No programs with printf(), scanf(), or any other
useful library functions that you are probably taking for granted.]

In short, you do NOT understand that right.

Looking here,

    http://packages.debian.org/lenny/cpp-3.4

it would seem that you should be having 3.4.6-8 show up in your
package manager.  If not, consider switching to a different mirror
in /etc/apt/sources.list.
