Is there a way to get the matching Linux kernel headers automatic on a regular kernel update via the Ubuntu packed manager?

Every time I get a new kernel I must do an

aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Have you installed the meta-package linux-headers-generic or linux-headers-386? Those keep track of the installed kernel and get updated automagically when a new kernel (and hence a kernel-header) package is available.

See the ubuntu documentation for further information.
