my intent for this patch is for it to be executed only during the boot
dkms module rebuild process.  from brief testing, i've seen that this
is the case (it is only executed at boot or runlevel change).

i do not believe that dkms_autoinstaller is actually called during the
postinst (unless i'm missing something).  i do see that in the postinst,
update-rc.d is used to update the contents of the script, but it does
not appear to be called there.
