Bug description:
Whilst discussing
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/improvements-for-hardware-support-in-
ubuntu-desktop-installation-media/20606
We have noticed a reference to somebody not having working backport-
iwlwifi-dkms, whilst SRU of that happened before the v5.4 -> v5.8
switch.
However, kernel meta switch was pushed to security pocket, but the
dkms modules are all in -updates only.
This may result in people automatically installing the new kernel with
unatanded upgrades; dkms modules failing to build; and a reboot
required flag left on disk.
At this point launching update manager will not offer to install dkms
modules from updates, and will guide the users to reboot..... which
will then cause them to boot the new kernel without the dkms modules
that might be providing networking for them.
Should dkms modules SRUs always getting published into -security
pocket, as well as the -updates pocket?
Should linux maintainer scripts prevent touching reboot required flag
if any dkms modules fail to build?
Should apt / unattanded-upgrades / update-manager always update dkms
modules with kernels?
