[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#728266: Depends on obsolete packages

Package: blktap-dkms
Version: 2.0.91-3
Severity: grave

blktap-dkms depends on linux-headers-generic | linux-headers.

linux-headers-generic never existed in Debian and
linux-headers is a virtual package that is no longer provided,
starting with Linux 3.11.  This is because any level of dependency
(Depends, Recommends or Suggests) on 'linux-headers' prevented APT
auto-removing any of the packages that provide it.

I suggest that you replace this dependency with a recommendation of
linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-generic

Ben.
