Yep -- this is deliberate. building wireguard isn't necessary because
5.5.0-1 already ships with wireguard.ko!
If you read
/var/lib/dkms/wireguard/1.0.20200413/5.5.0-1-amd64/x86_64/dkms.conf
(mentioned in the verbose dkms message above) you'll see that we have a
special carveout there to accomodate for this nice backport. (see also
#956241)
The "Error!" message is unfortunate, because it's not actually an error
at all. But that comes from dkms, and it's not something we can change
directly in the wireguard-dkms package.
I'm closing this bug report because everything is working as intended.
you should even be able to use wireguard with your new 5.5.0-1 kernel
without the wireguard-dkms package at all!
If I'm misunderstanding this and you're actually having problems with
wireguard on 5.5.0-1, feel free to reopen this report and give me more
detail about the problem.
