This was fixed upstream in 2.2.0.3-5 and landed in 18.04/Bionic. Proposing to backport the additional line of code into Xenial. + [ ! -z "$ksourcedir_fromcli" ] && DIR=$kernel_source_dir Testcase: Trying to compile any DKMS module with kernel source (headers) in a non-standard location (/usr/src) will fail with an error reporting missing headers without the change, even using --kernelsourcedir. With the patch applied, this works.
