People have been confused by "kernel-headers" anyway, so there is no 
harm. The point is to
1) Make the PKGBUILD more readable (everything except the 
"header-installation" is simple, and that is now in a separate function)
2) Remove confusion about many people thinking there was a kernel source 
in /usr/src/linux-foo
3) Do not install a bunch of useless headers with the kernel.
4) Because we can.
