What is the purpose of the package on linux-any systems? It is not a
part of that system's boot process so perhaps doesn't belong in /boot,
but rather somewhere like /usr/share or /usr/lib, like where ROM images
for Qemu and things go.
Someone may be crazy enough to dual-boot linux/kfreebsd out of a shared
/boot partition but that's not supported. (At least update-grub
would be unable to run dkms/mkinitramfs if run from kfreebsd).
I'm not sure if Conflicts: dkms would be correct, if dkms is simply being
invoked incorrectly by the GRUB postinst hook. In which case
mkinitramfs might still be broken. (Haven't tested this theory).
