[Impact]
Deferred module build was a feature that worked with Upstart and that was never updated to work with systemd.
[Test Case]
1) Enter the following command to create the temporary file:

3) Restart your computer and see if the module is built correctly (you should be able to access the desktop session). Check that the module is there with the "dkms status" command.
[Regression Potential]
