Bug#1010883: dkms breaks nvidia-graphics-drivers autopkgtest on arm64: unmet dependencies

[Paul Gevers]

Dear maintainer(s),

With a recent upload of dkms the autopkgtest of nvidia-graphics-drivers 
fails in testing when that autopkgtest is run with the binary packages 
of dkms from unstable. It passes when run with only packages from 
testing. In tabular form:

                         pass            fail
dkms                    from testing    3.0.3-1
nvidia-graphics-drivers from testing    470.103.01-3
all others              from testing    from testing

I copied some of the output at the bottom of this report.

Currently this regression is blocking the migration of dkms to testing 
[1]. Due to the nature of this issue, I filed this bug report against 
both packages. Can you please investigate the situation and reassign the 
bug to the right package?
