That’s what I have been doing, too. However, in my opinion, there’s no point in having more than one version of the kernel headers installed, given that only one set of files will be left on the system anyway. In effect,
slackpkg may have records of multiple installed versions, but only one version will really be available. The version that is installed last will overwrite the one that was installed earlier.
In other words, I don’t see the point of blacklisting the kernel headers any longer (except that the script that I use to install a new kernel version, will get confused when not all kernel packages have the same version number—but that’s up to me to resolve).

In my use case at this moment I have two kernels installed. I had three installed for a while back.

I, too, typically have two or more kernel versions installed.

I do not upgrade the kernel.

Neither do I. My script installs a new kernel version and lets me select which kernel versions I wish to remove, if any.
