Yeah, but DKMS modules are something of a special case because the end
user isn't building the package.  They're just installing a DKMS-enabled
package, and the building happens as part of the package installation.
That means that the dependencies do need to be there for the compilation
to work.

DKMS itself doesn't depend on build-essential because building the average
kernel module doesn't require userspace development headers, but OpenAFS
is weird.

This bug has been fixed for a while in Git, but along with other things
that aren't suitable for the current deep freeze.  (It is fixed in
experimental, though, so I'll leave it marked closed but with the correct
version information.)  But there's an upstream security patch that I need
to upload for squeeze anyway, so I'll fix this along with.  I should be
able to get to that in the next couple of days.
