That looks odd: not least because there never was a Debian 1.

For comparison: here is /proc/version on the machine in front of me:

Linux version 2.6.26-2-amd64 (Debian 2.6.26-19lenny1) (dannf@debian.org) 
(gcc version 4.1.3 20080704 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-25)) 
#1 SMP Mon Oct 19 02:34:17 UTC 2009

Are you _SURE_ you're running Debian? Did you install this machine with 
its software , or did you take on a machine built a long time ago by 
somebody else? 

Send us the output of 

cat /etc/debian-version

The machine in front of me gives 5.0.3

cat /etc/issue

gives

Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 \n \l

It's always possible that someone installed a different Linux then made 
it look like Debian to fool hackers e.g. by changing sendmail / apache 
messages and others :)

All the best,
