Comment 11 for bug 341159

Dustin:

Well look at it this way. Look at the rdepends of linux-headers-generic.
It's pulled in by all the desktop packages. So the argument's two sides
then end up being:

1) Add a bunch of unnecessary dependencies to *all* desktop installs that
use DKMS.
2) Add appropriate dependencies to meta packages of any possible kernel
meta, and don't need to worry about headers being installed on systems since
they are there by default now for all situations.
