The idea is that the dependencies match each other. If we didn't, we'd end up with:
Package: openafs-modules-686
Depends: linux-image-686, linux-headers-2.6-686
which seems wrong. I'm interpreting linux-image-686 as an "alias" of linux-image-2.6-686, and dealing appropriately. This way, if linux-image-686 suddenly starts providing a 3.2 kernel, there won't be a headers/image mismatch (the person who installed openafs-modules-686 would have a 2.6 image and 2.6 headers).
