Not exactly.  The -3 is an upstream version number, and is part of the
Debian package name.  linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 and
linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 are two different packages and can be
installed and removed separately.  They are both derived from the
same source package, which is linux-source-2.6.32.  However, 
linux-image-2.6.32-3-amd64 is derived from a newer Debian version of
linux-source-2.6.32 than the Debian version from which
linux-image-2.6.32-trunk-amd64 is derived.  The same is true for
all architectures (i386, amd64, ia64, etc.).
