What event would induce installation of C(A)?! Let's assume neither A nor B are installed. apt-get install A (no point installing C(A)) apt-get install B (B does not depend on C(A), otherwise this discussion is pointless) ... time passes ... magic install C(A) ??? Isn't all you want a hard dependency of dkms on both the Linux kernel and its header package? It seems that right now this is just a Recommends. Could you maybe elaborate why a proper Depends: is not appropriate in your opinion? Best, Michael
