kernel-headers-2.6.8-2 is a large architecture-independent package that
contains most of what is needed from the kernel source to build external
modules and such.

2.6.8-2-386 , -686, -686-smp, and all others contain the little
configuration-specific files . /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386 has
many symlinks to files under /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2 .
/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2 in itself does not contain a "configured
source" or even a .config file.
