Bug Description
This is mostly annoying for armel/armhf.
lttng-modules-dkms ships a dkms.conf that contains the list of kernel modules to build at install time.
Unfortunately this list is dynamic, depending on the kernel configuration but dkms.conf is a static file.
This means that at the moment, installing lttng-modules-dkms on a system that for example doesn't have kvm enabled will fail.
We should either find some option in dkms to ignore missing modules, match all *.ko or have a pre-build script generating a new dkms.conf based on the target kernel config.
I remember seeing this issue on 11.10 and it should still be there for 12.04, unfortunately my panda board currently refuses to build lttng-modules at all running 11.10. I'll try tomorrow with a clean Ubuntu 12.04 daily and will look into this bug then.

This bug was fixed in the package lttng-modules - 2.0.0-0ubuntu2
---------------
lttng-modules (2.0.0-0ubuntu2) precise; urgency=low
* Abuse the fact that dkms.conf is sourced by a shell script to
have it generated on the fly depending on the target kernel configuration.
This allows for lttng-modules-dkms to be installed with varying
kernel configs, most notably on ARM. (LP: #961857)
