[Pkg-dkms-maint] Bug#637737: apt-get purge of old kernels results in cascade of "Broken pipe" error messages from dkms

[Marc Meledandri]

Still seeing this old bug on Jessie. I've removed dozens of kernels
since this bug has existed, and it's pretty annoying

Would be nice to see the intended sdout of dkms to be assured it's
functioning properly.
