Wireguard and Wireguard plugin depends on linux RT kernel

I can't (and don't want to) use a RT kernel because ZFS is not supported.
When I try to remove linux-image-rt-amd64, it seems that there is a dependency for openmediavault-wireguard and wireguard packages :

# uname -a

Linux ovm 6.12.30+bpo-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.30-1~bpo12+1 (2025-06-14) x86_64 GNU/Linux

# dpkg -l | grep linux-image-6.12.30

ii linux-image-6.12.30+bpo-amd64 6.12.30-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Linux 6.12 for 64-bit PCs (signed)

ii linux-image-6.12.30+bpo-rt-amd64 6.12.30-1~bpo12+1 amd64 Linux 6.12 for 64-bit PCs (signed), PREEMPT_RT

# apt remove linux-image-rt-amd64

The following packages will be REMOVED:

linux-image-rt-amd64 openmediavault-wireguard wireguard

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Is it expected ?

Thanks,

Thanks for taking a look at this.
Mhhh, I guess I'm a bit lost in dependencies

# apt-mark manual wireguard

wireguard set to manually installed.

# dpkg -P linux-image-rt-amd64

dpkg: dependency problems prevent removal of linux-image-rt-amd64:

wireguard depends on wireguard-modules (>= 0.0.20191219) | wireguard-dkms (>= 0.0.20200121-2); however:

Package wireguard-modules is not installed.

Package linux-image-rt-amd64 which provides wireguard-modules is to be removed.

Package linux-image-amd64 which provides wireguard-modules is not installed.

Package wireguard-dkms is not installed.

dpkg: error processing package linux-image-rt-amd64 (--purge):

dependency problems - not removing

Errors were encountered while processing:

linux-image-rt-amd64

I installed package wireguard-modules and after that, I was able to uninstall RT linux packages.
Thanks for pointing me to dpkg -P command, I didn't think about it.
