Since Wireguard is in the kernel already, do you actually need this package?

towo:
No, wireguard is not in kernel, only the wireguard modules!

Well yes, to be accurate.  ;)
The question remains, why would you need this or any other wireguard package? I'm using a VPN with wireguard and have no wireguard* packages installed.
