O.K. - but what is the difference?

As "user" i expect to get the correct headers for the kernel
linux-image-3.12-1-amd64
when i install

linux-headers-3.12-1-amd64


The package names seem to be chaotical now.

Yes - i only tested the original nvidia installer as comparison to the environment with the self compiled kernel.

First i have to install the original nvidia driver now.
Do you think it is a good idea to start with a clean new copy of wheezy now and upgrade it to jessie?
I think everything is really mixed up now.
