Serious Warning? [SECURITY] New versions of lpr released



What's this "serious warning" business all about? Why should the lpr
package care what kernel source package I have installed? (2.0.36 FYI),
but I might well want to install lpr with _NO_ kernel source files
installed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
desktop# dpkg -i lpr_0.46-1-0slink1_i386.deb
(Reading database ...
dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package
`kernel-source-2.2.12' missing, assuming package has no files currently
installed.
24200 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace lpr 1:0.33-3 (using lpr_0.46-1-0slink1_i386.deb)
