up2date anomaly - "hdr" vs "rpm"

Just finished with a fresh install of FC2 on my laptop, followed by
running up2date and manually installing the kernel-doc package. My
up2date icon is now a very happy blue ball.
The anomaly I'm seeing is when I look in the up2date folder, I see many
header files without corresponding rpm's. This same behaviour was noted
on my desktop when I installed / updated it.
Both machines were "Everything" installs, and up2date runs in it's default
configuration except that I chose to keep the files after installation.
Since it happened on both machines, maybe it's normal. When I was running
Shrike however I had "matched pairs" of header and rpm files. I remember
this because I was using dialup at the time and up2date kept timing out so
I would run it, grab the headers, then cancel and visit my favorite mirror
to download the rpm's via ftp. Once I copied the downloaded rpm's to the
up2date directory, up2date happily gobbled them right up.
Anybody else seen this behaviour in up2date ?? Better yet, anybody got an
explaination ??
Thanks
