The book is great, but already a bit out of date. Krafft has a website (not recently updated) which includes error corrections and new information here: http://debiansystem.info If you read the section of the book discussing the naming of kernel-related packages -- including images, headers-only packages, and source packages -- then all of the information is correct... it's just that Debian policy renamed 'kernel-*' to 'linux-*' many moons ago (back at kernel 2.6.12, I believe).
