try making a drawer. and add them into it

guys, a kernel question: in order to install a certain software, it is required to have those kernel-headers installed that match my kernel. 'uname -a' reveals that i'm using kernel 2.6.8.1-3-386 #1, but the most recent kernel-headers package i can find in synaptic is 2.6.7-1. what do i do?

kernel-headers-foo is for debian (and in 'universe'); linux-headers-foo is for ubuntu
