Justification: cannot build modules from -source
Hi,
here I have a few patches for the -dkms and -source packages:
The -source package cannot build modules. Fixed that.
Add an autopkgtest for -source to detect such breakage earlier.
Restrict the -dkms autopkgtest to amd64 (the only architecture where the
-dkms package is built).
Thanks for considering.
Andreas

Do not assume linux-headers-$(uname -r) is available, too, if
module-assistant is building for a different kernel.
