Not really. Of course you need to have fakeroot installed to build the
.deb, but that's not related to dkms. I have changed my make-dkms.sh
to set up two temporary dirs and use --sourcetree and --dkmstree,
which works wonderfully.

Thus from my side this issue is settled, and we can close this unless
you actually want to make it more slick upstream.

Thanks!
