This module did not build on my machine.  I tracked down the cause to
the absence of the relevant linux-headers package, which is required
to build the module.  This package should depend on
linux-headers-generic to ensure that the appropriate
linux-headers-<arch> package is installed.

If at all, this dependency is in the realm of dkms and src:linux and we recently dropped the header dependency from dkms for the ongoing restructuring of src:linux. And the previous dependency in dkms frequently pulled in the wrong headers...

The required behavior (headers matching the running kernel (ideally metapackages for both)) is not expressable with package relationships.
