Bug Description
when installing the fglrx module, it doesn't build the kernel driver, because it doesn't install the kernel sources as a dependency. from the command line output to apt-get install fglrx:
Loading new fglrx-9.000 DKMS files...
Building only for 3.5.0-19-generic
Building for architecture x86_64
Module build for the currently running kernel was skipped since the
kernel source for this kernel does not seem to be installed.
IMHO it should build the kernel module, and if needed, install all packages to build the kernel module

after manually installing linux-sources- generic, the fglrx module also compiles / installs fine
