I see this lot:

$ apt-cache search linux-headers
linux-headers-2.6-amd64-generic - Linux kernel headers 2.6 on x86_64
linux-headers-2.6-amd64-k8 - Linux kernel headers 2.6 on AMD K8
linux-headers-2.6-amd64-k8-smp - Linux kernel headers 2.6 on AMD K8 SMP
linux-headers-2.6-amd64-xeon - Linux kernel headers 2.6 on Intel x86_64
linux-headers-2.6.8.1-2 - Header files related to Linux kernel version
2.6.8.1
linux-headers-2.6.8.1-2-amd64-generic - Linux kernel headers 2.6.8.1 on
x86_64
linux-headers-2.6.8.1-2-amd64-k8 - Linux kernel headers 2.6.8.1 on AMD
K8
linux-headers-2.6.8.1-2-amd64-k8-smp - Linux kernel headers 2.6.8.1 on
