Package: linux-headers-6.6.13+bpo-amd64
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: colm@tuatha.org

Dear Maintainer,

The linux-headers packages for kernel version 6.6 seem to depend on the corresponding
linux-image packages, but I believe that this should not be the case (and was not the
case in previous versions). It should be possible to install the header files for
a particular kernel version (eg: to allow for modules to be built for that version,
which is my use case) without requiring the kernel image to be installed.

I think the headers packages should depend on a suitable version of linux-kbuild and
any necessary glibc headers or other build artifacts, but not on linux-image-*

Many thanks,

Colm
