The source is available in the ndiswrapper source package, and also in the
Ubuntu kernel source package.  I don't think we need another copy, and it's
confusing.

We removed some similar -source module packages, because people would use
them without realizing that the modules were already in the kernel, causing
confusing problems.

Has anything been done about the package name transition?  Is there still an
issue there?
