As i understand, that would be wrong, since the kernel-source contain
the kernel source in packed form, while the kernel-header package
contain them in unpacked form. The kernel-source is thus not able to
provide siaid dependency without user interaction, and thus your
proposal cannot be followed. (Mmm, sorry for strange english, it is
early morning here :)
