IMHO, the installation and updating of linux-headers-generic, linux-headers-3.2.0-26, linux-headers-3.2.0-26-generic is unneeded for ~98% of Ubuntu desktop users.
So, 98% are not using nvidia or ati proprietary drivers? Damn, I must have a really bad hand when I comes to picking hardware...
Provided the dependencies are correct, it'll be pulled in by eg dkms, libc-dev etc when expected.
IMHO, there is not one "correct" here. I'd absolutely hate if packages started hardcoding dependencies on linux-headers-generic. They may need some linux-headers, but why should that be the ones from generic kernel? I'd have to carry a generic headers package whenever I use dkms.
