That does not look like a module packaged in Debian ...

dkms fails the installation if anything it tries to build does not work.
This must go, reassigning accordingly.

What should dkms do instead? Out-of-tree modules break frequently on new kernel upstream major versions, that is completely out of dkms' control.

There are two points in time where these errors could show up:
* ) at package installation/upgrade time because building the module
    failed (there is a small chance of the build succeeding ater reboot
    if a badly packaged module only supports building against the
    running kernel)
* ) at reboot due to a missing kernel module

A failing module could build be 'harmless' if it's e.g. just the soundcard driver missing (unless you depend on text-to-speech) but in the worst case it's the root file system that is not supported...
