That gets the new kernel installs, but I don't think it gets the updates
to the kernel module source package. Although I suppose we could
duplicate that with a postinst call to module-assistant.
One of the things that I like about DKMS, though, is that it's a
cross-distribution solution to the problem. It's also used by Fedora, for
instance. So I was able to copy existing upstream work for Fedora builds
for the dkms.conf file.
