No need to wait. I'm running kernel-image-2.4.20-k7 on my Athlon. You'll
only need kernel-headers if you plan on compiling software. Even if you are
doing complies I don't believe there's any need for kernel-headers to match
the running kernel.
Also I don't believe you'll ever see a kernel-headers-2.4.20-k7 package, all
the kernels are built from a common source package and will have common
headers.
