But..... it's how DKMS infrastructure *works*! When you install a standard nvidia or flgrx driver, the module must be built (very little compiling, because everyone knows that nvidia/flgrx drivers are bundled with a big binary blob) for each kernel you install, generic ubuntu kernels too; to avoid this, DKMS was created [1] so it performs the build phase for you without user intervention. I don't want to be too much critic but this bug report is VERY clear: the matter is just to understand why some symbols are GPL only in the -rt kernel headers/source that aren't in the generic. Please, don't misunderstand it a third time.
