That is unexpected as the headers are generated from the same source as
the kernel in theory, and both should have been built from the same
version of utsrelease.h and thus have the same value.

Checking the flavour specific headers those are (as expected) flavour
specific headers.  They appear to have the correct version of the header
file matching the version number:

    ==> 
./headers-amd64/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server/include/linux/utsrelease.h
 <==
    #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.27-10-server"

    ==> 
./headers-i386/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server/include/linux/utsrelease.h
 <==
    #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.27-10-server"

I would therefore expect this to have been correct without manual
intervention.  Can we confirm that your installed header package is
identicle to the one I have.  You can find the installed package file in
/var/cache/apt, something like this:

    md5sum /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server_*.deb

I am expecting the following:

    a...@dm$ sum -r linux-headers-2.6.27-10*
    47256   630 linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server_2.6.27-10.20_amd64.deb
    00922   614 linux-headers-2.6.27-10-server_2.6.27-10.20_i386.deb
    a...@dm$ 

Also could you have a look at the installation logs from apt for when it
installed the package and see what if anything it said.  These are in
/var/log/apt/term.log and its predecessors, searching for the package
name should find it.
