Bug Description

When kernel header packages (linux*-headers) are installed/upgraded, all installed DKMS modules are rebuilt. Currently, if any of that rebuild fails, a bug if filed for the kernel header package which is incorrect.

There are two different scenarios, both of which are not kernel problems:

1) An official DKMS package from the Ubuntu archive fails to build -> A bug should be raised for that DKMS package.

2) An unsupported DKMS package fails to build -> No bug should be filed, but ideally the user should be made aware of the situation.

An example invalid bug is bug 2067015.
