What to do about persistent dust spots on my DSLR?

I have dust spots appearing systematically on pictures (with blue/white/grey skies & aperture > 9) I understand this can happen, I understand how and why it happens, especially with HDR... I also know I should pay attention not to change my lens in a dust environment; I know that compact camera should not have the problem when DLSR are more proned to it.

My question is:

  • should I consider it is normal to have dust spots (even after cleaning), and no one is really talking about it, but HDR requires to have a special post treatment to remove these spots
  • should I consider it is normal but there shouldn't have dust after cleaning
  • should I consider it as abnormal and I should change my camera

What is your opinion?
