[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#650331: dkms: MODULES_CONF reference is removed even if another kernel exists

[Dirk Griesbach]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.2.0.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm using a dkms-module which provides some MODULES_CONF[] entries in
dkms.conf. When I have installed two kernels, for which the module is
build, and remove one of them, the $module.conf reference gets removed,
too. But the man page for dkms says:

,----[ in Section: MODULES.CONF / MODPROBE.CONF CHANGES ]-
| initrd is then remade.  Subsequently, as your modules  are  then  later
| removed from the user's system, until the final module/version combina‐
| tion is removed from the final kernel version, those references in mod‐
| ules.conf  will  remain.   Once  the last module/version combination is
| removed, those references are then removed.
`----

So the entries in $modules.conf should persist.

Regards,
Dirk
