Comment 4 for bug 805737

Tim: yes, apt wrongly selects in this case linux-meta to grab the dependencies from, as apt chooses the linux binary package (from linux-meta) and not the source package 'linux' to get the dependencies, I think apt should give higher priority to source packages, which would avoid this problem. The dependencies on the package are fine, not sure if we have a sane workaround for this, I think not, and apt would have to be fixed.
