You are both right, I have linux-headers-6.0.0-3-amd64 and totally
forgotten about that.

But nevertheless, shouldn't that then contain those files and dpkg not
print out an error then?
And indeed:
$ dpkg -L linux-headers-6.0.0-3-amd64 | grep '^/lib'
/lib
/lib/modules
/lib/modules/6.0.0-3-amd64
/lib/modules/6.0.0-3-amd64/build
/lib/modules/6.0.0-3-amd64/source

So I'm a bit surprised why I saw some error at all in that case.

Thanks,
Chris.
