fine.
so can we stop now talking about insults -- imagined or real -- and talk  
about the problem at hand?

the dependencies introduced in the built package are unecessary and  
prevent installation on any system not using prebuild kernel-???-packages.
the build system works w/o those packages , the package itself works w/o  
those packages.

in short: there is no need for the dependencies, they could be a mere  
recommendation if they have to exist at all (just taht the build finishes  
successfully should be enough to ensure that everything neceassry is  
available).

so, what justification have those dependencies?
