+Description: Virtual package that depends on all @version@ kernel headers for @arch@
+ This package provides common kernel header files for version @version@ on
+ @arch@, used to build out-of-tree kernel modules and the like.  It is mainly
+ useful for module packages that want to build a module for all flavors of
+ an architecture, without having to manually list each flavor in its control
+ file.  If you don't know what any of this means, you probably don't need this.
