Presumably because the headers for each kernel are in a separate package (so they can be independently installed). So upgrading the header package for, say, kernel 2.6.18-4 won't install the headers for 2.6.25-2. The best way around this that I know is to install the kernel headers metapackage for your architecture; e.g., linux-headers-2.6-686 if you have an i686 kernel.
