SRU Request: fglrx-installer: dkms build failures with linux-lts-wily

[Andy Whitcroft]

[Impact]
The lts-wily backported kernel and (the soon to be available) xserver in Trusty make fglrx and fglrx-updates uninstallable, and make the DKMS module installed by fglrx-core and by fglrx-updates-core fail.

[Test Case]
Install the lts-wily kernel and check that DKMS doesn't fail with the next fglrx-core packages.

[Regression Potential]
Low, all the changes are already included in wily.

_______________
We are seeing dkms build failures on i386 with linux-lts-wily.

This will overwrite the upload for bug 1511301. Was that ever fixed/verified and does this new version fix it?
