 In debian, linux-headers-generic is a virtual package 
 that is provided by linux-headers-$ARCH. 
 For reasons, i need to specify a dependency on installed kernel headers 
 version in a package. I was hoping to do: 
 ``` 
 Depends: linux-headers-generic (>= 6.16) 
 ``` 
 ... but that doesn't actually work 
 because the per-arch packages don't specify which version of 
 linux-headers-generic they provide, so i have to instead do: 
 ``` 
 Depends: linux-headers-amd64 (>= 6.16) [amd64], 
          linux-headers-arm64 (>= 6.16) [ard64], 
   <...> 
 ``` 
 This seems suboptimal. It would be ideal if they could annotate the 
 version they provide: 
 ``` 
 Provides: linux-headers-generic = (6.12.38-1) 
 ```
