Well, the question is *why* they have this dependency. Probably it's
this:
debhelper (5.0.37) unstable; urgency=low
* dh_installmodules: depmod -a is no longer run during boot, so if a module
package is installed for a kernel other than the running kernel, just
running depmod -a in the postinst is no longer sufficient. Instead, run
depmod -a -F /boot/System.map-<kvers> <kvers>
The kernel version is guessed at based on the path to the modules in the
package. Closes: #301424
After that, it's just Python stuff. Maybe a backport of 5.0.37 should
be uploaded?
