linux-image shouldn't depend on linux-headers etc. as that would pull
in a lot of big packages that are completely unnecessary for users that
don't use OOT modules.

"dpkg -S" is easily confused by symbolic links.

We provide the linux-headers-<flavour> metapackages to make it easy to
get the new kernel headers and rebuild OOT modules.  By using
"APT::Get::Upgrade-By-Source-Package=0" you prevented APT from
upgrading linux-headers-amd64 together with linux-image-amd64.  Maybe
DKMS should have done a better job of reporting this, but it's really
your mistake.
