... but the proposed dependency wouldn't address that, right?
linux-headers-bla would keep linux-image-bla around, but if the user then
installed linux-image-newbla, then nothing would be pulling in the
corresponding headers. As I said in the other message (
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2024/04/msg00024.html), the only
ways to address this would be to have -image depend on -headers (I think
this is a bad idea, as do you), or to have a higher-order "linux-complete"
package which depends on both (and could be Suggests: by both). Users who
need to keep -image and -headers in sync could install this.

Thank you for taking the time to explain the problem; the earlier parts of
this thread were very confusing to me.
