Reading:

https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/bbswitch/tree/hack-lenovo#lenovo-ideapad-y470y570-and-toshiba-satellite-p870

It looks like bbswitch package should maybe `Depends:
linux-headers-amd64 (>= 3.8.5)`. If my understanding is correct
bbswitch as packaged cannot work on linux before 3.8.5

Thanks
