Hi Bryce,
that hook is not being installed anymore since
commit 5bf93011c0b4c02cd7e6169e8bbba56b87ea14c4
Author: Bernd Zeimetz <be...@bzed.de>

Drop -dkms package.
Closes: #884656
Thanks: Christian Ehrhardt
Or did I miss something? Did you find the hook on a recently installed
system?
I've removed the file from the repository.
