Almost DKMS packages fails to be built with "Makefile: No such file or directory"

[Takashi Sakamoto]

I tested "v4l2loopback-dkms", "ndiswrapper-dkms" package and my personal DKMS package. The build process always failed.

== for v4l2loopback ==
$ sudo dkms build -m v4l2loopback -v 0.6.1

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

My personal DKMS package also miss Makefile after entering /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.0-12-lowlatency.
