Package: wireguard-tools
Followup-For: Bug #993985

Dear Maintainer,

In Debian 11 (currently 'testing'), there are no packages which provide
'wireguard-dkms', and 'wireguard-modules' is provided by the standard 'linux-
image-<arch>' packages. As a result there is no apparent value in having
'wireguard-tools' recommend either of those.

In fact on a system which intentionally does *not* have the 'linux-
image-<arch>' package installed, installing 'wireguard-tools' will pull it in
unless the user tells it not to, and may pull it in in the future when the
'wireguard-tools' package is upgraded and 'apt upgrade' is run... unless the
user once again remember to tell 'apt' to not install recommended packages.
