[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#568580: dh_dkms should not fail if it has nothing to do

[Frédéric Brière]

Package: dkms
Version: 2.1.1.1-1
Severity: normal

First of all, thanks for closing #553665.

dh_dkms currently throws an error if it encounters any package for which
it has nothing to do, forcing the use of -ppackage if there is any
non-DKMS package in debian/control.  I believe it should behave like
every other debhelper command, and simply do nothing quietly in such a
case.
