I removed the stock 3.8.0-19-generic kernel (and meta packages for the stock ubuntu kernel) and installed the 3.9 mainline kernel, do I need these 2 packages or can I remove them?

~$ apt-cache policy linux-libc-dev
linux-libc-dev:
Installed: 3.8.0-19.29
Candidate: 3.8.0-19.30
Version table:
3.8.0-19.30 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates/main amd64 Packages
500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-security/main amd64 Packages
*** 3.8.0-19.29 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
~$ apt-cache policy libc6-dev
libc6-dev:
Installed: 2.17-0ubuntu5
Candidate: 2.17-0ubuntu5
Version table:
*** 2.17-0ubuntu5 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
I completely removed (aka purged) all of these:

linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic linux-headers-3.8.0-19-generic linux-headers-3.8.0-19

You probably need them to compile drivers by using DKMS (NVIDIA proprietary drivers do that). Otherwise, you're fine.
