In /etc/apt/sources.list make sure you have both a deb ... line with
unstable/testing/wheezy or whatever you use and another line with stable.

ie:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

Then apt-get update, and apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.32-5-amd64
(or whatever your kernel is).

I can't stand synaptic.  aptitude is OK, but apt-get command line works.
