Bug Description

linux-image-3.2.0-27-generic depends on the following undesirable additional packages:

crda/wireless-crda

i'm using a server in which there are no [and never will be any] wireless devices, and wish to not be required to install this additional package. i'd like to ask that it be marked as recommends [especially since by default, recommended packages are now installed automatically]

regards
-ben
