Package: wireguard-dkms
Version: 0.0.20200121-2
Severity: important**
**
Dear wireguard Maintainer,
The debian wiki (https://wiki.debian.org/Wireguard) says that an 'apt
install wireguard' is enough to build the wireguard module via dkms,
however on a fresh debian 10 installation wireguard, wireguard-dkms and
wireguard-tools will be installed but it does NOT build the module. An
additional 'dkms install wireguard/0.0.20200121' is required for the
module to be actually built, which is not shown in any wireguard guide.
I believe it did autobuild the module in the past.
Also it looks like wireguard requires the package 'bc' which is not
listed as a dependency.
