195.36.24 is when we introduced DKMS support, so that implies that the
DKMS support has never worked for you.  I think this must be a problem
specific to your system, since it's working for lots of other people and
the above syntax has always been used in dkms.conf.

Have you partly replaced DKMS on your system with an installation from
somewhere else, or installed some DKMS package other than the one that's
current in Debian, maybe?
