Bug Description
This was the cause of much grief recently as removing gcc (the reasoning was quite sound, this is not a development station and only binary packages are installed) lead to no warning and it meant dkms was of no use. Doubled with a lack of signaling from the jockey package which failed without a warning or error message that meant making the computer unusable but in low-res mode.

Hi Siddartha:
Thanks for the bug report. You only removed the gcc package, not others and
no auto removable, correct?
Thanks,
