I think you can safely ignore that.  The kernel headers don't change 
much.

I recommend using Manoj's "kernel-package" for recompiling kernels -- it
takes care of all this for you automatically.  It will create a bona-fide
debian package containing your custom kernel, plus it takes care of all
sorts of other details like the kernel headers.
