Hello all.
I'm a novice at building Debian packages, but following the New Maintainers' Guide, I've been able to successfully use dh_make, quilt, and
dpkg-buildpackage to make proper packages.
I now need to build some out-of-tree kernel modules, and would really like
to make the associated packages work with DKMS. �However, I'm completely
unclear on how to use dh_dkms. �Using dh_make's kernel module option does
not seem to be leading me down the right path.
Is there a suitable introduction or guide of any sort on how to use debhelper and dh_dkms to build a dkms package? �Would anyone be willing to
help me get started in doing so?
Thanks.

I'm also interested in learning how to build packages of kernel modules with dkms support, but the New Maintainers' Guide doesn't cover this at all, and I can't seem to find any info regarding this in any other official Debian documentation. However, I have found a fairly detailed guide elsewhere that explains how to do so [1]; hopefully it'll be of use for you.
