I've just uploaded r8168 8.048.03-3 (non-free) to sid that has been 
switched to dh-sequence-dkms and that triggers

E: r8168 source: missing-build-dependency-for-dh_-command dh_dkms => dkms


The following change fixed this for me:

--- a/data/debhelper/dh_commands
+++ b/data/debhelper/dh_commands
@@ -49,7 +49,7 @@ dh_di_kernel_gencontrol=dh-di
 dh_di_kernel_install=dh-di
 dh_di_numbers=dh-di
 dh_dist_zilla_origtar=dh-dist-zilla
-dh_dkms=dkms
+dh_dkms=dkms | dh-sequence-dkms
 dh_doxygen=doxygen
 dh_dpatch_patch=dpatch
 dh_dpatch_unpatch=dpatch

I first tried to regenerate the data files:
    private/refresh-debhelper-data data
but that only resulted in lots of deletions.
