Well, I don't have the 2.6.27-10 headers package in /var/cache/apt/archives:
r...@jmitchel-desktop:/home/jmitchel# md5sum
/var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.27-10*
md5sum: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.27-10*: No such file
or directory
And here's the log where they were replaced:
