** Description changed:

- wireguard depends on wireguard-modules | wqireguard-dkms.  This is
- inverted.  This will default to installing wireguard-modules in
- preference to wireguard-dkms when neither is installed.  In Ubuntu this
- leads us to install an unrelated kernel to resolve the lack.  We should
- in that case install wireguard-dkms.

-    the problem.
+ Install wireguard from a old kernel (or a kernel such as linux-oem-osp1
+ which does not yet have builtin modules) and note that linux-gke or
+ similar is an installation candidate.
