Title:
  drbd8-utils not dependent on drbd8-source

Status in drbd8 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The current drbd8-utils package has a dependency on the drbd8-source
  package.  While I understand that the source package has been modified
  to build a DKMS module for the kernel, and the dependency ensures that
  a current (matching) kernel module is always built for the running
  kernel, I do not believe that this step is necessary.

  Since the drbd.ko module is built and included with the kernel by
  default, the need to build a matching module is not necessary. When
  the kernel is upgraded, the new module will automatically be included.
  I did not dig too far into the packages, but I believe that the
  existing drbd8-utils package is a binary package that is not rebuilt,
  so having the source does not ensure the utils are a match to the
  built kernel module anyway.  Therefore, the dependency on drbd8-source
  should be removed from the drbd8-utils package.
