Hmm, well since you were talking about kernel-headers, you don't have to
build any kernels.  Besides, if you start off with the current kerne-image
source package, you'll see that it uses cp -l so it won't take up much more
space than one kernel source would.

Just change the rules to not call make-kpkg build and make-kpkg kernel-image
and you're set.
