[Bug 1068341] Re: No way to specify correct dependencies for dkms packages

[Colin Mills]

While this bug continues to go unfixed, we must be losing potential
Ubuntu users who expect to select an NVidia driver and have it work
straight away. When it doesn't they will go back to their original os.

Why can't linux-headers-generic be added to the NVidia dependencies or
added as a future update?
