I do not know. Kernel 3.0 was never part of a stable debian distro. It
only came to debian during wheezing development period. The answer to
this question requires knowing how the system was first installed and
maintained.

kernel.org has 3.0.94 as the most recent stable release of this kernel
gen. You may download from there and compile from source.

with your current sources, apt-get update; apt-get install
linux-image-3.2.0-4{$your_cpu_arch}
linux-headers-3.2.0-4{$your_cpu_arch} (warning pseudo-code).
You will need to reboot after that to start using the new kernel.
