I usually prefer the Ubuntu packaging to whatever upstream packaging.
But in this case, Ubuntu requires dkms, while upstream doesn't, for a long time now. There's no module compilation on each kernel upgrade.
It's an additional significant reason to prefer the upstream package.

Maybe it's time to update the Ubuntu packaging as well, and not just the source?
