[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#553665: Bug#553665: dkms: debhelper support for DKMS

[Mario Limonciello]

It should be worthwhile to note that there is an upstream "common"
postinst that is available with DKMS 2.1.0 and later.  It would be most
ideal to work off that if at all possible.

Here's how it's normally used in the DKMS mkdeb template:
