When I look in the source packageof "jockey" I saw this line in
data/handlers/nvidia.py:

    def enable(self):
        # Ensure that the necessary kernel headers need to be installed
        kernel_headers = 'linux-headers-' + os.uname()[2]
        ...

Why does jockey not use " kernel_headers = 'linux-headers-generic" here?
apt-get would automatically install the correct headers and using it
would be safe between kernel-upgrades:

  $ dpkg -s linux-headers-generic | grep Depends
  Depends: linux-headers-2.6.32-26-generic
