This is not the naming convention for a Debian kernel. The fourth
number for a stock Debian kernel is separated from the third by
a hyphen, not a period. For example,
uname -r
on my system yields
2.6.26-2-686
(This is an i386 architecture machine.) Notice the "-2", not a ".2".
The system may be a Debian system, but its kernel does not appear
to be Debian kernel. The kernel is either from another distribution
or is a custom built kernel. And who knows what kernel source code
package was used to build the custom kernel. None of the Debian
linux-header-* packages will be an exact match. Find out from your
kernel builder *exactly* where to get the header files.
