Package: dkms Version: 2.0.22.0-0 Severity: important
Hello. The dkms package in testing fails to install modules bcm5974-dkms (from http://bitmath.org/git/bcm5974-dkms.git) and usbhid-dkms (from http://bitmath.org/git/usbhid-dkms.git). The dkms .deb package from Dell (at http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml installed these modules correctly. The problem is that Debian testing dkms is trying to use mkinitrd and fails as mkinitrd is not available in stable or testing. Dell dkms uses mkinitramfs (which is available) and is successful. Thank you for maintaining this package!
