Now I see that my question wasn't clear and I should rephrase it:
dahdi-modules-`uname -r` does not depend on linux-image-`uname -r`.
Why is that? In my understanding e.g. dahdi-modules-2.6.32-3-686
doesn't work with any other kernel but 2.6.32-3-686 but apt is not
able to detect this dependency and would happily let me install a
newer kernel, after which the dahdi modules would simply not load
(in the "best case").

So I think (but I might be wrong) that dahdi-modules-_KVERS_ should
depend on linux-image-_KVERS_ -- or anything that identifies the
kernel's ABI.

Debian kernels are compiled with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS enabled and I
guess that modules could be compiled with
gcc -DMODVERSIONS -include /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h ...
however I have no idea how apt could use that information. That's
why I was suggesting `uname -r`.
