Are you thinking about kernel 5.5 or kernel 5.6 or later?

if wg is mainlined in 5.6 and the user is on a 5.6 or later kernel, then
i don't think we want wireguard-dkms at all, right?

The automatic uninstallation of packages with legacy kernel ABIs is what
Ben has identified as a sticking point for putting a Provides: on the
"real" kernel package.  But it doesn't sound like that's a problem for
the kernel metapackages.
