Package: madwifi-source Version: 0.svnr1680.0.9.1-1 Severity: normal When building the modules for a custom built kernel which has not been built with make-kpkg - and thus isn't installed as a package, the madwifi-modules-[kernelversion] package depends on [linux|kernel]-image-[kernelversion]. This leads to a dependancy problem with apt/dpkg, because even though everything compiles and works fine, madwifi-modules-[kernelversion] will be eligible for removal due to the fact that the manually installed kernel is not present as an installed package.
I'm running etch but grabbed the latest from unstable and the problem is there as well. As an example, fglrx-kernel-src 'recommends' [linux-kernel]-image-[kernelversion]. What the exact policy is on this is unclear to me, but since this dependancy breaks the usage of the package and nothing else, it seems to me that the dependancy is not needed.
