Gaim needs kernel-headers ?

[John Peter]

Hello all

I would like to understand why, if someone has the time to explain it ...

I have Sarge and 2.4.22 kernel ( installed and configured by me from 
sources).
I allready had installed gaim_0.72-1 wich was compiled from sources and a
.deb produced with Checkinstall .
No kernel headers where needed - perhaps because it was built against 
the installed
kernel?
Now I removed (purged) the installed version, changed the distro in 
sources.list to
sid and installed the very same version of gaim but it installed 
linux-kernel-headers
for the 2.5.999 version - does this just mean it was built with this 
kernel ?And does
it really need them ( the headers) ?

Thank you .

John
