Yes, same here - as linux-headers-2.6.30-1-686 is a result of
Debian's kbuild. Compare output of a kbuild header package:

> /usr/bin/make OVT_SOURCE_DIR=/usr/src/modules/open-vm -C modules/linux/pvscsi 
> clean
> Using 2.6.x kernel build system.

with the output when building against a linux headers package
created by make-kpkg:

| /usr/bin/make OVT_SOURCE_DIR=/usr/src/modules/open-vm -C modules/linux/pvscsi 
clean
| Using standalone build system

AFAICS when looking at
/usr/src/modules/open-vm/modules/linux/pvscsi/Makefile the problem
seems to be somewhere within the VM_KBUILD check and according
variable definitions so it seems to work with kbuild packages but
fails with the ones created by make-kpkg.
