wirerguard-tools has no dep on akmod-wireguard? Unless I'm misunderstanding the point
you are trying to make here?
The Fedora wireguard-tools package would probably have a conditional
dep for the wireguard ko if it was going to have any at all:
Requires: (kmod(wireguard.ko) if kernel)
That makes it nice in containers and still ensures that if there is a
kernel installed, the kmod would be present.
