I did not test that yet, but the sources itself are not needed of course.
The divas4linux-melware package uses (unlike the eicon package) the kernels
build system without changing the sources.
So if the installed header-package provides the possibility to build a 
kernel module using the kernels Makefile, then it is enough.
As far as I know these header package really provide the more than the 
headers: the Makefiles, scripts and config files.
