Bug#1064976: linux-headers-6.6.13+bpo-amd64 incorrectly depends on the corresponding linux-image-amd64 package

[Colm Buckley <colm@tuatha.org>]

Why was this never the case before? And can you be more precise about what "stuff" is missing? Is there a previous bug report I can reference?

DKMS should handle its own dependencies, I'd have thought - I see a clear use case for installing header files without the corresponding images.

It should.  The build wants the image available (it does not really fail
without, but lacks stuff) and we need some dependency to keep image and
headers in sync for people using dkms.
