I'm trying to understand this bug and what it means for the bookworm release. How bad do you judge this issue to be? Is there any solution in sight?
I haven't fully understood what's going on there either, but finally I've now a fix for an (at least) related issue sent upstream (#1031561, BUILD_EXCLUSIVE option errors out on non-matching kernels).
Now I need to check again the related bugs to see which are covered by this fix and which need more fixing.
Shouldn't any foobar-dkms (or dkms helpers) depend on linux-headers? Or doesn't that work the way linux-headers-* are setup?
There are Recommends in dkms, thats the best we can get. As that needs to be a list of alternatives, it's impossible to get "right" for everyone. At least dkms tries to suggest the correct package (but unfortunately not the corresponding metapackage) if the headers are missing.
