The make-kpkg command has a kernel_headers target. From the man page:
kernel_headers
This target produces a Debian package containing the
header files included in the Linux kernel.
So presumably it should be possible to use make-kpkg on your 2.6.20
tree to build a custom headers package, and then install it via dpkg. I
have not tried this.
