It looks good.  The only question in my mind is whether "openvswitch_mod.ko.0"

wouldn't be considered suitable as a Debian package name, because Debian
package names are not allowed to contain an underscore, but obviously
the rules for RPM are different.

I'm mimicking RPM's convention for expressing shared library dependencies in terms of the library names rather than the packages in which they reside. Obviously that doesn't translate literally to the kernel, but I thought it would be recognizable to people familiar with RPM deps on shared libraries.

I did look around on the web to see if any distro had a standard way of expressing dependencies on kernel modules from userspace packages but came up empty handed. If you find something that you think we should use instead, I'd be happy to change it.
