This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.6.1-4ubuntu2.1
---------------
dkms (2.6.1-4ubuntu2.1) disco; urgency=medium
* Do not invoke dkms_autoinstaller from /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms
with redirection to /dev/null (LP: #1827697), this caused debconf dialog
to not be shown.

Bug description:
I noticed that sometimes the system upgrade is blocked in the kernel
header package's configure phase, in the process manager I found that
it is blocked by the "Configuring Secure Boot" whiptail prompt started
by `update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key` which doesn't surface to
the terminal and hence not interactable.
Refer the attached screenshot for the process status at the time.
[Test Case]
1. Install any out-of-tree dkms packages (like bbswitch-dkms)
2. Un-enroll keys from MOK, ensure `mokutil --test-key
/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der` command returns
"/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der is not enrolled"
3. Ensure SecureBoot is enabled
4. Install any linux-headers-${version}-generic packages that is currently
not installed, verify if it stucks at configurating state
[Regression potential]
Since this change will cause the output of dkms_autoinstaller to appear in
the output of the kernel installs, this may surprise consumers of the dpkg log
with its verbosity.
