I think editing the systemwide template should be discouraged. Is it perhaps an
issue of
the linux-image-unsigned-XXX package? Shouldn't it simply Provide
linux-image-XXX?
I am also not sure why some arch specific builds (e.g., amd64, arm64) have an
-unsigned binary
package and other don't (e.g., i386).
Copying from
https://kernel-team.pages.debian.net/kernel-handbook/ch-packaging.html#s-arch-dep:
```
linux-image-version-abiname[-featureset]-flavour-unsigned
This package contains the binary kernel image and pre-built binary modules for
a particular arch/featureset/flavour combination, that are meant to be signed
and copied into a package without the -unsigned suffix. There is normally no
need to install these packages.
```
Does the above hold for
linux-image-unsigned-5.2.0-050200rc6-generic_5.2.0-050200rc6.201906222033_amd64.deb?
I tend to believe that his is more an issue with the kernel mainline
build rather than with DKMS.

Title:
Package generated with mkbmdeb fails to be installed when using kernel
mainline build
Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Using latest kernel mainline build, e.g. [1], the binary package generated
with `dkms mkbmdeb`
fails to be installed since it depends on linux-image-XXX but only
linux-image-unsigned-XXX is available (which by the way conflicts with
linux-image-XXX).
It seems that the `/etc/dkms/template-dkms-mkbmdeb/debian/control`
adds this explicit dependency.
Would it make sense to extend Depends with a linux-image-
KERNEL_VERSION | linux-image-unsigned-KERNEL_VERSION or should the end
user patch the systemwide template before running dkms?
