We had a discussion about where would be the proper fix for this issue
at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2012-March/019502.html,
and the conclusion was basically to remove the linux-headers from dkms
recommends list:

Recommends: fakeroot,
 menu | sudo,
 linux-headers-generic-pae | linux-headers-686-pae | linux-headers-amd64 | linux-headers-generic | linux-headers,
 linux-image

The dkms driver should by default depend on the kernel already, so
there's indeed no need to have them as recommends.

Title:
  Packages requiring dkms at Pandaboard (omap 4) will also pull linux-
  headers-generic because current dkms dependencies

Status in “dkms” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux-ti-omap4” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The PowerVR SGX kernel module package for Pandaboard depends on linux-
  headers-omap4 (headers package for the Omap 4 based kernel) and DKMS,
  but when installing the package DKMS will also pull linux-headers-
  generic, forcing the module build to happen with both kernel headers
  package, besides wasting quite a few extra megabytes.
