That looks to be the case...
I don't have any pre-packaged kernel-images on hand except for my old
potato cd's. All I have are locally compiled images.
My /lib/modules/2.*/build files are links to /usr/src/kernel-source-xx
directories. If this is the case (someone who has prepackaged
kernel-source debs might check with "dpkg --contents <image-deb> | grep
build" and see what it says. If this is the case with them, then this
would presume that the kernel-source for that kernel would have been
installed. If this is necessary, then the kernel-source should be a
Dependency, shouldn't it?
