[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#704788: dkms should not uninstall modules from older kernel[s]

[Peter Keel]

I would like to add, that it really should not do this. 

I just fell into a rabbit hole of kernels impossible to compile 
with gcc 6.2.1-5, broken binutils from bugreport 
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=845690
and finally, after reverting to binutils 2.27.51.20161118-2
having a bootable kernel whose module-loading always lead 
to an oops, unable to load any modules. 

Then, when reverting to the old kernel, THE LEAST THING you
want is some idiot dkms having deleted your nvidia-drivers 
in the meantime, just because you tried to compile them for
that other broken kernel.

Kind Regards
Peter
