Thanks for the link. I am using a git clone, too (want to get the actual 
"vanilla" kernel), however I'd prefer the end-result to be in package form for 
easier uninstallation. And, most importantly, I rely on dkms for two kernel 
modules (namely the VirtualBox and fglrx modules), so this has to be triggered 
somewhere.

Kind regards,
Ralf
