Public bug reported:

[Impact]

DAHDI (formly Zaptel) is an interface for telephony devices (e.g. the
Asterisk PBX software). Maintaining this module on cloud kernels has
been always problematic, because most of the cloud kernels are missing
the modules required by this dkms. Moreover it is quite unlikely to find
a real world use case that may require to have this module installed in
a cloud instance.

In kernels such as linux-kvm for example this test has been failing
since forever and it has been always hinted. At this point it is better
to simply not provide this module.

[Test case]

Install this module on a kernel typically used in cloud instances, i.e.:

  $ sudo apt install dahdi-dkms

[Fix]

Adjust dkms.conf to provide this dkms only on a certain subset of
kernels (excluding cloud kernels).

[Regression potential]

We may incorrectly exclude some kernels that actually require this
module, so we may see potential regressions limited to the
unavailability of this dkms.
