Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]
  DKMS is pulling in incorrect headers on some images/installs, plus this fix backports the removal of the 'linux-image' dep that was pulling in linux-image on various media, despite precise.2 wanting linux-image-lts-quantal.

  This should be fixed by dropping the dkms dependency on headers, and
  making linux-flavour depend on the correct headers, as it does in Q
  and R.

  [Test Case for DKMS]
  Testcase is twofold:
  1) verify that the binary packages no longer have deps on any linux-headers or linux-image packages.
  2) verify that the latest precise daily builds no longer incorrectly carry 3.2.0 kernels on x86

  [Test case for linux-meta-*]
  Make sure linux-$(flavour) now depends on linux-image-flavour *and* linux-headers-flavour, rather than just linux-image.

  [Regression potential]
  Low, this dependency was pretty much always broken, and it was merely a fluke that it was handled correctly elsewhere and mostly a non-issue on x86 installs.

  [Original Report]
  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.
