Bug Description

It don't mark linux-headers like dependencie when update the kernel, it does for everything else like nvidia drivers, linux restricted and stuff, but the headers have to be updated manually?

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'linux-headers'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.

The headers are not installed by default; if you want them, install the corresponding linux-headers-<foo> package for the linux-<foo> package you are using, and it will track the same versions.

Yes i know that, but whet there are an update for the kernel, it does
update but just the kernel, i have to chose the linux-headers-<foo> like
it is a new package, not like it is an update from the previus
linux-headers-<foo>-1 version.
