There are N flavours of kernel headers available, and adding one more won't help. The "linux-headers" virtual package is satisfied by the headers for each linux flavour. Unfortunately, there is no guarantee that the linux headers for the running kernel (or the expected- to-be-running- kernel) are available at install time.
If this is a bug, the bug is in *all* DKMS-using packages in that they ought detect whether the running kernel matches the available kernel headers, and if not, warn the user and offer to install matching kernel headers.
