Package: dkms Version: 2.2.0.3-1.2 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
Please consider adding a dependency on lsb-release for dkms, either Depends or Recommends. DKMS uses the lsb_release command to determine what distribution is running. Based on that it chooses different installation paths for installed kernel drivers. If the lsb-release package is installed, drivers are installed to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms If the lsb-release package is not installed, drivers are installed to whatever path the specific driver specifies in its dkms.conf. Either way the system works, but is not consistent from one installation to the next if lsb-release is added or removed. Nothing is broken, I'm just hoping to fix this inconsistency. Another alternative would be to patch dkms to have a distro_version_deb function analogous to the existing distro_version_rpm function.
