Sure, but it's a bit of an unusual case to say the least, and I'm not
aware of dkms packages in Debian doing that (happy to stand corrected
if that's not the case).

So surely any out-of-distro dkms package doing that should just ensure
they pull in the dependencies they need for it?

Assuming it's even needed. As far as I understand, the point of
vmlinux.h is that it gives the equivalent information generated from
BTF.

The issue is that pulling the headers package also pulls the image,
initramfs and all that machinery. We are going to depend on the headers
package in src:systemd from the next release to get the vmlinux.h, and
pulling all that stuff too adds considerable weight to the build
dependency installation job.
