Bug#1029312: Linux-headers-*-amd64 depends on linux-compiler-gcc-*-x86 despite the kernel having support for Clang Compilation

Package: linux-headers-5.10.0-14-amd64
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: iam@heston.ca

Dear Maintainer,

Support for compiling the linux kernel with clang has been present for a while
now, yet gcc is a mandatory dependancy despite not being needed. Why force the
user to muddy their build environment?
