[Debian-ha-maintainers] Bug#539218: DKMS vs module-assistant

Ok, it's not as simple as I thought.
The problem is: DKMS doesn't create packages to install its kernel  
modules. That means it is not possible to add a Conflict between dkms- 
built and module-assistant/pre-compiled packages.

The mkdeb command of dkms only creates a deb similar to our drbd8- 
source package, that contains the source and some postinst script to  
run dkms. So that's not the solution.

I think best is to add a debconf question, if you want to use dkms. We  
can set the default value for this to true on Ubuntu und false on  
Debian.

Is that ok?
