It sounds like only official Ubuntu kernels will support DKMS properly.
So I don't think this is going to be a valid bug in dkms.
The build failure of the Nvidia driver is however a bug in the Nvidia
driver.

Bug description:
Installing mainline v5.1 from https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v5.1/ , I get this error:
ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-
headers-5.1.0-050100-generic is not supported
Also, building nvidia modules fail; I'm not sure it's
related/critical.
See attached file for both logs.
