Revisiting this bug, I might have been not explicit enough. This
dependency is needed, so headers and kernel will be available in the
same version and dkms is able to build modules for the just installed
kernel.
dkms will check that and break installation if this precondition is not
provided. And no better solution is known to make sure we can build
those modules.
It however have nothing to do with vmlinux.h, which is not for kernel
modules.
