if you need a new kernel and the corresponding header files are needed then at the moment i think a reboot would be required to get the latest kernel running. i think there is some eventual plans to get an update in place kind of system going but i'm not sure that Debian is there yet. i always do the kernel updates (for testing) and reboot and make sure it is stable enough before i remove the second backed up version. so right after a kernel upgrade that pulls in a new version of the header files i will have three kernel packages and i keep that last used kernel around until i get another upgrade as i'd hate to have to redownload and install a version in case of trouble. so far i've not had to ever do this - the kernel team is doing a great job for me in how they've managed the testing upgrades. songbird
