Bug Description
Neither binary graphics drivers nor dkms depends on the linux-headers any longer. This means that we need Jockey to at least try to install the correct linux-$flavour metapackage so that users get the correct linux headers together with linux updates.
In raring we already do this in ubuntu-
Note: while it's true that Ubiquity already does the right thing, this bug report aims to cover cases in which, for example, the metapackages are not there any more for some reason or because users have installed a different kernel flavour
