Ran the same command again and flashed the kernel this time around.
But failed to install linux-kernel headers' on both runs. Is it really needed?
Anyway, for now I haven't noticed any improvements in any way (but it's still too early to tell) and secondly does this kernel provide overclocking? If yes, how to access on the CLI? (like kernel-config on titan's kernel)

You minimally need kernel-bfs, kernel-bfs-modules and kernel-bfs-flasher. The headers are for compiling additional kernel modules (which most users won't have to do) and the bootimg is for multiboot etc.

I've recompiled kernel-power-settings to depend on kernel-bfs instead of kernel-power a few posts back. Installing that package will provide the kernel-config script, allowing you to overclock just as you used to

To prevent this package to be 'updated' to the official one (which will pull in kernel-power because it depends on that), add the following text to /etc/apt/preferences (create this file if it doesn't exist yet):

Code:

Package: kernel-power-settings
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001
