To explain the problem from bug 550905 (which was marked as a duplicate
of this) more clearly:

If the user has the linux-image-generic metapackage installed, apt
upgrades will automatically get them the _most recent_ linux-
image-2.6.35-NN-generic kernel package available.  However, Jockey only
installs the linux-headers-2.6.35-NN-generic package corresponding to
the _current_ kernel package, as of when the driver was installed.

The fix is for Jockey to install the linux-headers-generic metapackage
if the linux-image-generic metapackage is installed (and so on for other
kernel flavors).  This will ensure that apt will pull in the most recent
linux-headers-2.6.35-NN-generic along with the most recent linux-
image-2.6.35-NN-generic.
