The anal-retentive part of me is glad to hear this, but I'm not aware of
any dh_* tool failing due to a choice of package name.  Enforcing a
naming policy seems to be the job of lintian, not debhelper.

In any case, if you choose to go down that route, please make sure that
dh_dkms throws an error instead of generating an invalid postinst.

Mostly, but there's still some *-modules-source, *-module-source and
*-src in there.  (I wrote a kernel module class for CDBS, so I should
know.  <g>)
