[Bug 474660] [NEW] drbd8-utils not dependent on drbd8-source

[Mike Shappell]

Public bug reported:

The current drbd8-utils package has a dependency on the drbd8-source
package.  While I understand that the source package has been modified
to build a DKMS module for the kernel, and the dependency ensures that a
current (matching) kernel module is always built for the running kernel,
I do not believe that this step is necessary.

Since the drbd.ko module is built and included with the kernel by
default, the need to build a matching module is not necessary. When the
kernel is upgraded, the new module will automatically be included.  I
did not dig too far into the packages, but I believe that the existing
drbd8-utils package is a binary package that is not rebuilt, so having
the source does not ensure the utils are a match to the built kernel
module anyway.  Therefore, the dependency on drbd8-source should be
removed from the drbd8-utils package.

** Affects: drbd8 (Ubuntu)
