I didn't give a reason because it wouldn't change anything. I always download the kernel sources myself and build my kernel from scratch. I therefore don't want do download and install the header packages as well. Besides which version of headers does libc6 use/need? You may ask why I don't use any Debian kernel. Mostly because I need the framebuffer early on and also use an USB keyboard on my desktop. Most of the rest are just modules. O.
