Public bug reported:
atomicity:[~] dpkg -s bcmwl-kernel-source | grep-dctrl -sDepends ''
Depends: dkms, linux-libc-dev, libc6-dev, linux-headers-generic
If the system is running linux-generic-pae, for example, instead of
linux-generic, then installing bcmwl-kernel-source will cause the
headers for the -generic kernel to be installed unnecessarily.
It already depends on dkms, which has appropriate kernel header
dependencies, so I think this can just be removed. Similarly, the
compiler and development library dependencies should be taken care of by
the dkms package.
