Just for the record, because Henry Lin did contact me via email, the
packages site does display correct information here, the Packages file
for quantal contains the Recommends from dkms to linux-headers.
What distributions are you really using? Because your original install
screenshot did show a virtual-guest-dkms version that isn't in quantal
but raring? In quantal everything was correct, it's raring that you seem
to be using and which is causing you the trouble. And indeed, dkms on
quantal doesn't recommend linux-headers anymore.
And when looking into the changelog of raring for dkms, one finds that
linux-headers got removed with this rationale:
dkms (2.2.0.3-1.1ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low
* Don't Recommend any linux-headers packages, our installers
all install headers matching your kernel anyway, and this
dependency causes more problems than it solves (LP: #960770)

So you should look into that bugreport and speak with Adam (I subscribed
him to this bug now).
Enjoy,
