@colin -- DKMS package should not depend on kernel headers of any kind.
There is no way depending on them can:

1) be written so it triggers the right package to be installed for your
kernel (it will always install linux-header-generic which is wrong if
you are on an lts-backport),

2) guarentee to install the correct version of those headers even if (1)
was false (it will install the latest kernel headers not the one for the
booted kernel), and

3) we go to great lengths in the installer to install the correct
headers for the kernel you are actually using (to avoid this issue).

In short it is Ubuntu policy that dkms package do not depend on the
headers, and may assume the correct ones are installed.
