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:

And there's no other mention of 2.6.27-10

And now:

r...@jmitchel-desktop:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server/include/linux# 
more utsrelease.h
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.27-10-server"

So I guess it was caused by something else that I ran and forgot about. 
Sorry for the wild goose chase.
