Thanks, Jason! > - A user is on stock Debian and runs `apt install wireguard`: only > wireguard-tools is pulled in. > - A user is on weird Debian (say, some AWS kernel) and runs `apt > install wireguard`: wireguard-tools and wireguard-dkms are pulled in. Are you thinking about kernel 5.5 or kernel 5.6 or later? if wg is mainlined in 5.6 and the user is on a 5.6 or later kernel, then i don't think we want wireguard-dkms at all, right? > I was under the impression that the "Provides" mechanism does a good > job at that. But perhaps there's another good way you have in mind. The automatic uninstallation of packages with legacy kernel ABIs is what Ben has identified as a sticking point for putting a Provides: on the "real" kernel package. But it doesn't sound like that's a problem for the kernel metapackages. --dkg
