Public bug reported:

Hello,
In our derivative we provided a patched Ubuntu kernel, today for lucid
we are at version 2.6.32-47-eole.

To avoid overpatching the kernel for drivers, we provides DKMS packages,
but we have an issue with detection of newest kernel version.

If the current system is running 2.6.32-47-generic (from CD installation
for example), when we install our 2.6.32-47-eole and its headers, the
DKMS package is built and installed only for the -generic.

The work around is to let dkms_autoinstaller do the job: 1) install the
DKMS module, then install the kernel headers, installing both in the
same "apt-get install" invocation fails.

I made a patch to add an option to build the DKMS modules for all
installed kernels.

Regards.
