If you want a full disclosure answer you can find it in the
newbie/expert archive.
The short answer is that for some time now the kernel-header pkg has
been provided by glibc.
The version # for kernel-header pkg is dependent upon the kernel
version used For the glibc build.
Now the only time it is necessary to update the kernel--header pkg is
for an update version of glibc.
