Kernel-image packages need to have version numbers encoded in them so that upgrades can happen smoothly. Kernel-headers need the version numbers as you may have multiple kernel-images packages in the archive. The thing is, kernel-headers should not be used at all unless you're compile glibc, or modules. Anything else will break. -- Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is out!
