Package: linux-headers-6.6.13+bpo-amd64
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: c...@tuatha.org
Dear Maintainer,
The linux-headers packages for kernel version 6.6 seem to depend on the
corresponding
linux-image packages, but I believe that this should not be the case (and was
not the
case in previous versions). It should be possible to install the header files
for
a particular kernel version (eg: to allow for modules to be built for that
version,
which is my use case) without requiring the kernel image to be installed.
I think the headers packages should depend on a suitable version of
linux-kbuild and
any necessary glibc headers or other build artifacts, but not on linux-image-*
Many thanks,
Colm
