Headers vs running kernel is pretty much irrelevant - the only link is that when building the system, we use the copy of the headers from the kernel package. So, you can upgrade the kernel as often as you like, but should never touch the installed headers when you do so. As for other programs, they shouldn't need to be touched either. The only exceptions are things that interact closely with the kernel - generally 3rd-party driver packages, which will probably need reinstalling following a new kernel being installed. Simon.
