Working with customer were VPN package install broke his working system. VPN software depended on wireguard that pulls in wireguard-modules (or wireguard-dkms) that does not build against a modern Linux kernel release.

The fix is to provide the wireguard-modules (=1.0.0) as part of the debian control update on the linux-image-<release>-generic build.

Created PR to make this change: #243

I'm not sure how to kick off a build to see if this fixes the packaging meta-data correctly to allow the "wireguard" package to install without pulling in wireguard-dkms that breaks now that wireguard is in upstream.

You should be able to apt-manage add popdev:fix-wireguard, since your branch was automatically built (since the branch is in the pop-os org, since you had permission to put it there.) Then install updates and try installing wireguard.
