DKMS pulls in kernel-debug-devel which is useless and breaks puppet deployment of DKMS-related apps

I'd like to get the community's take on this in addition to submitting a support case which I'll do after I write this up.

Problem: DKMS-dependent apps need kernel-devel in order to build dynamic kernel modules. DKMS has a dependency of 'kernel-devel'. Sadly, the package kernel-debug-devel testifies to RPM that it meets that dependency, and for whatever reason, it is pulled in before the true kernel-devel package (maybe because kernel-deb* is before kernel-dev* alphabetically?). *1

So once this is installed, DKMS thinks it can roll kernel modules, but since kernel-debug-devel doesn't provide kernel source files, it actually can't - thus no OpenAFS for you!

The next issue in this cascade of woe is that once this dependency for 'kernel-devel' is satisfied by the RPM 'kernel-debug-devel', the RPM database shows that 'kernel-devel' is installed to the extent that Puppet can check. *2 Since one of the tests for 'kernel-devel' is met by 'kernel-debug-devel', you cannot apply 'kernel-devel' RPM via puppet unless you do so before 'kernel-debug-devel' RPM is on the host.

I believe all of this sadness is caused by incorrect provides of kernel-debug-devel RPM as shown in *3.
