Not to ask too stupid a question, but should not the above be included
in the RPMS's post install script?
the question isn't stupid but the answer is obvious...

so yes, the RPM likely has something along those lines. But as you said
it's called "post install".
So unless you (re-)install the nvidia rf rpm, it can't do anything.
the problem is that it's when a new *kernel* gets installed that you
want to trigger dkms scripts.
That's what dkms_autoinstaller is supposed to do, but it seems confused
with the weak_updates.
That's as far as I've gone in the analysis, but if someone has some time
and wants to help improve things, I'm sure getting in touch with dkms
people would be good. (I'm out of free time...)
