Plus, if we _need_ linux-kernel-headers now because it has been split from the libc6-dev package why the hell is it 2.5.99?! would that not conflict with my 2.6.0-test9 kernel installation? Anyhow, after downgrading libc6 itself I can get back into X. I can't seem to downgrade or remove libc6-dev to get rid of the linux-kernel-headers package though.

It does not need to match the kernel version, as the headers should be reasonably backwards-compatible. These headers are not linked into the kernel, and ideally shouldn't be used by user space programs either. It seems they are only for use internally by glibc, with some small exceptions. SO, why are they in a package called 'linux-kernel-headers' ??!? Some notes - the linux-kernel-headers package is the private-section of glibc which contains linux-esque functions for user-space.

My fonts have improved recently but I have absolutely no idea why!
