Nice catch!

It is not needed. The code is in postinst_sources(), which is called by

kernel-2_pkg_postinst() {
	[[ ${ETYPE} == sources ]] && postinst_sources
}

And linux-headers (which Prefix usually use) defines ETYPE=headers.

In rare cases, Prefix do have a chance to compile and install a kernel.
But then, EROOT/sys will also be needed.
