1. convert aacraid-1.2.1.30300-dkms.noarch.rpm to a deb package with #alien --scripts
2. install it with gdebi (or dpkg -i)
3. convert dkms-2.2.0.3-1.noarch.rpm to .deb with #alien --scripts
4. install it with gdebi
(I used --scripts option with alien.)
5. #dkms add -m aacraid -v 1.2.1.30300 (succeeded).
6. #dkms build -m aacraid -v 1.2.1.30300 (failed):

Converting to .deb without using --scripts option also produces an error.
The previous version installed without problems using the same steps. The difference is the original was built under kernel 3.2, while the new one is being built under 3.10. I have installed the correct kernel headers. The Nvidia proprietary driver (for instance) installs fine. The old driver works fine under 3.10 thanks to dkms. I can continue to use build 30200 for now. (But of course, I would prefer to use the up-to-date 30300 August driver.)
Thank you for your attention.
Mark
