...where "software" specifically means "kernel modules". I suspect
most people will never have a reason to install a Debian
kernel-headers package. If you built your kernel from source, you can
use the unpacked source tree for its headers. If you're not trying to
compile a kernel module that's not packaged for Debian already and
don't have a kernel source tree sitting around, you don't need this
package.
