The Debian way of building out-of-tree modules is to use module-assistant. DKMS is useful for building modules that haven't been packaged specifically for Debian. DKMS does have one feature over module-assistant which is that it will attempt to rebuild modules after installation of a new kernel package. If you want this feature for native Debian packages, please file a wishlist bug against module-assistant. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
