Package: aptitude
Version: 0.2.15.9-2
Severity: normal
This happens in last version, it did not happen few weeks ago.
I have proprietary nvidia drivers compiled as module, but nevertheless
aptitude wants to install me a kernel-image:
# aptitude -vD dist-upgrade

The following NEW packages will be automatically installed:

initrd-tools (D: kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386)
kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386 (R: nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-2-386)
nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-2-386 (D: nvidia-glx)
The following NEW packages will be installed:
cramfsprogs initrd-tools kernel-image-2.4.27-2-386
nvidia-kernel-2.4.27-2-386
...
As you can see, it does so because nvidia-glx depends on
"nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174":
# aptitude show nvidia-glx
Package: nvidia-glx
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1.0.7174-3
Priority: optional
Section: non-free/x11
Maintainer: Randall Donald
Uncompressed Size: 9822k
Depends: nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174, xserver-common (>= 4.0.3), xlibmesa-glu
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
But, the drivers compiled and installed as make-kpkg's module already
provides it:
$ aptitude show nvidia-kernel-2.6.11
Package: nvidia-kernel-2.6.11
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1.0.7174-3+10.00.Custom
Priority: optional
Section: non-free/x11

Uncompressed Size: 4506k
Depends: nvidia-kernel-common (>= 1.0.7174)
Recommends: kernel-image-2.6.11
Provides: nvidia-kernel-1.0.7174
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
apt-get dist-upgrade works fine, it does not install those extra
packages.
