Installing kernel-source already drags in the whole goo. Except bc.
I'm not sure what "whole goo" is supposed to mean but I just tried "zypper install kernel-source" on Tumbleweed system without gcc, make, flex, bison, libelf-devel and bc. It only installs
bc kernel-devel kernel-macros kernel-source
(bc is there because stable already has your patch). So my question still is: what makes bc so special that it should be a hard requirement of kernel-source when other tools needed to build kernel (or modules) are not?
I also get kernel-default-devel, with all the goo behind it.
