   i) linux-kernel-headers-grml *should* match your running kernel, or
      at least it should at install time before slapping anything else
      in.

  ii) linux-source-2.6.16 will provide kernel headers, but they
      conflict with kernel 2.6.16-grml.

I would remove whatever kernel-source and kernel-headers packages
you've installed and install grml kernel sources which match your
running kernel.

   - uname -a

   - COLUMNS=120 dpkg -l | grep kernel
