That is incorrect & overall this is a regression from previous Ubuntu
releases
On a run on the mill install this is installed by default
linux-headers-3.5.0-17

When using “Additional Drivers” to install any of the proprietary
drivers only these packages are installed
Ex. nvidia-current
dkms_2.2.0.3-1.1ubuntu1_all.deb
fakeroot_1.18.4-2_amd64.deb
nvidia-current_304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
nvidia-settings_304.51-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
python-xkit_0.5.0_all.deb
screen-resolution-extra_0.15_all.deb

linux-headers-generic/linux-headers-3.5.0-17-generic is not installed,
the module is not built & ect. ect.
(actually worse for users from “Additional Drivers” because they're
given no info

 From my perspective maybe the issue is
linux-headers-generic/linux-headers-3.5.0-XX-generic should be installed
during the orig. install instead of just linux-headers-3.5.0-17 ??
