No, they are not:

I am missing the linux-headers-2.6.20 (or similar) package. The
linux-source package only contains the source, but it misses the
specific headers that were generated for building your own kernel.

On the other hand: I am missing the linux-image-2.6.20 package, too. Did
you compile your kernel on your own, or did you use a prebuilt one?

Exactly, it is already included there.
