Yes, because the kernel provides backwards compatability for syscalls.
The problem is that the kernel doesn't provide headers for user space
applications, so linux-kernel-headers is provided to give the absolute
minimum needed for userspace applications to use.

We (the glibc folks) will probably update it after Sarge releases,
though.
