Bug#559069: linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64: why gcc-4.1 instead of gcc-4.3?



Package: linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64
Severity: minor


Hi,

A newcommer to Debian, forgive me if I do any mistakes, I'm trying to
compile broadcom-sta following http://wiki.debian.org/wl wiki page.
While installing linux-headers-2.6.26-2-amd64, I noticed that it depends on
gcc-4.1, but when I installed 'gcc' package, aptitude installed 'gcc-4.3'.

Is gcc-4.1 desperately needed for this package? can't we change the dependency
to accept >= gcc-4.1?

Thanks,
Mohan R.
