Bug#311130: Fw: initial debian packages of dkms

[Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>]

I built some debian packages of DKMS.  It's my first time building
debs, so give it a try and be nice.

Some things I noted:
* Debian doesn't leave a prebuilt kernel tree sitting around.  This
means you'll have to manually install kernel-source-${version} and
then untar it in /usr/src/.  This also means that DKMS is going to do
make mrproper in the prepare and clean steps.

* The config file is available in /boot/config-$version-arch.

* /lib/modules/*/source is a dangling symlink to nowhere useful



# dkms add   -m dell_rbu -v 0.8

# dkms build -m dell_rbu -v 0.8 \
  --kernelsourcedir=/usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.8 \
  --config=/boot/config-2.6.8-2-686

# dkms install -m dell_rbu -v 0.8


worked for me on a Sarge i686 install.


TODO:
- figure out what mkdeb (akin to mkrpm) would look like
