sorry Vince
I have to correct you. ;)

e.g.
# aptitude search linux-image-`uname -r`
 i A | 2.6.15-26. | linux-image-2.6.15-26-k7 | Linux kernel image for
version 2.6.15 on AMD

but what op wants is probably more likely:

# aptitude show linux-source
Package: linux-source
New: yes
State: not installed
Version: 2.6.15.24
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Maintainer: Ubuntu Kernel Team <kernel-team at lists.ubuntu.com>
Uncompressed Size: 53.2k
Depends: linux-source-2.6.15

Description: Linux kernel source with Ubuntu patches
 This package will always depend on the latest Linux kernel source code
 available. The Ubuntu patches have been applied.
