Interesting. Just out of curiosity, where is that supposed to be
documented? Knowing this might have enabled me to make use of the
debian packaging [1] of a module I needed a couple of weeks ago, but I
could not find any applicable docs in either the kernel-package,
kernel-source-XXX or the module source itself.
(Btw, is it a bug for the debian/rules in a module package to run
dh_testroot from its 'build' target? I know it's not allowed in the
debian/rules in a _source_ package, but perhaps the conventions
for kernel-module packages are different).
[1] Actually ended up inserting the module source in the kernel
directory tree and patching Makefiles and Config.in's to trick
it into building together with a kernel image. Yuck.
