Ok, thanks for the notice, I confirm that the issue regarding the
linux-headers-* packages is fixed.
The only glitch now is that linux-image-* packages are not required by other
packages. In my opinion the metapackage ubuntu-minimal should depend on the
virtual package linux-image, ensuring

linux-headers-* (so for instance linux-generic recommends linux-headers-
generic and so on).
Yes, that would be a good solution IMHO.

Public bug reported:
ubuntu-desktop should not recommend linux-headers-generic, since not everyone
use that kernel.
For instance, since I run ubuntu inside a vmware virtual machine, I use the
linux-virtual kernel instead of the linux-generic kernel. So for me the
