If you’re installing the kernel from the mainline PPA, you also need to install the kernel headers from the mainline PPA (linux-headers- VER_REL.all.deb and linux-headers-VER-generic_REL.ARCH.deb). Once you do that, DKMS will build and install the drivers for you. This should happen completely automatically (via a hook in /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d).
I don’t think it’s the bcmwl package’s job to document how to use DKMS (Ubuntu includes many module packages that use DKMS), but if you think the documentation for DKMS could be improved, feel free to open a separate bug against the dkms package. Let’s try to keep the spam on this bug report to a minimum. If you need more help with your mainline PPA kernel, please try the Ubuntu forums <http://ubuntuforums.org/> or use Launchpad Answers <https://answers.launchpad.net/> instead.
