I don't think so. It contains a different .config, which might not be 
compatible with the running kernel.

I have made a few fixes to build with the debian header packages. The new 
package (3.0.f) will be available for download in about 30 Minutes.

I have tested build with
  make KDIR=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.27-2-386
and
  make KDIR=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.8-2-386
