That needs dkms/3.0.10-8, already unblocked.

Some background: src:nvidia-cuda-toolkit is too large to have 
autopkgtests on its own. So I've moved them to src:nvidia-cuda-samples. 
I recently fixed nvidia-fs-dkms (src:nvidia-cuda-toolkit) to work with 
the bookworm kernel (that's the important change in 
src:nvidia-cuda-toolkit missing in bookworm) (before it skipped that 
kernel), only to expose a bug in the dkms-autopkgtest script (src:dkms) 
since nvidia-fs-dkms is the first package in the archive making use of 
the BUILD_DEPENDS directive in dkms.conf.
