kernel header package not correctly upgraded

[Steve Conklin]

I upgraded this machine from Lucid, through Maverick, Natty and finally to Oneiric.

This machine has the nvidia DKMS driver package installed, which required the presence of the kernel headers package.

Originally on Lucid, the -generic (non-pae) and -pae kernels were installed. The kernel headers package was installed, but not the -pae headers. The default boot was to the non-pae kernel

On the upgrade to Natty, the kernel that was the default boot was changed from -generic to -generic-pae,
but the kernel headers for -pae were not installed, and the nvidia DKMS package failed to build.

The results in loss of graphics, and also in loss of network (due to no graphics).

I've attached a tarball of all files in /var/log/dist-upgrade

This was fixed with the recent 0.156.9 upload, unfortunately it was not added to the changelog.
