Because you have to use the same compiler version that was used to
compile the kernel in order to compile modules.  And the linux-headers
package allows you to compile modules, so it makes sense to depend on
the gcc version used to compile the kernel.

You don't have to install linux-headers though.  The linux-image
package doesn't depend on it.
