The kernel headers are used to compile out-of-tree kernel modules for 
that kernel. You should always install kernel and its companion headers 
file. While there may be cases where the headers are not actually 
changed and it may work - good policy is always install both kernel and 
its companion headers package. If you don't compile out of tree kernel 
modules then you may not even need to install headers.

Hope that is clear.
