Interesting.  Dkms packages on Debian depend on a version of the Linux
kernel source code being installed; but I guess Fedora doesn't have that

You don't actually need the kernel source (just some headers and the build files) to build kernel modules, so neither Red Hat nor Canonical install kernel source by default. On Ubuntu you get this same effect with linux-headers-generic package.
