It's not that complicated if we have the new "Breaks" field. I just submitted my suggestion on the package linux-latest-2.6. The idea is to have something like this: Package: linux-image-2.6-686 Version: 2.6.21+7 Breaks: kqemu-modules-2.6-686 (<< 2.6.21+7), unionfs-modules-2.6-686 (<< 2.6.21+7), ... That way, linux-image-2.6-686 is upgraded only if a matching kqemu-modules-2.6-686 / unionfs-modules-2.6-686 is also available. Of course if the user has not installed any of those packages, it's a no-op as it should be. Some details probably need to be worked out, but it looks like a good way to do that.
