Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Basically just as the subject states. When removing a kernel it would be good
to remove all the modules and not just uninstall them. Issuing a remove instead
of an uninstall to dkms will cause the module to be uninstalled first (if it's
not already), then removed. If the kernel is ever re-installed then dkims will
rebuild the module as needed, so nothing is lost by removing the modules for a
reomoved kernel, but you do run a cleaner system.
Patch is very simple:

I've tested and it works fine. Hmm - might want to change the grep so it
handles any modules that exist (remove modules that have already been
uninstalled). Just noticed that part. Can probably remove it althogether, but
to be safe change it to 'egrep ": installed|: built"
Bottom line - keeping the modules for a removed kernel serves no useful purpose.
TIA, need any more information just ask.
