So, continuing on the mailing list.  Not sure how many made it to the
list, but if you did, please help out.  Please review the bug reports
and propose patches, or commit patches directly into the git repository.

Pushing patches upstream and checkout out patches the from Ubuntu to see
which ones make sense to include in Debian would help a lot too.

I would love to get some kind of test suite into the build system, as it
would make the task of uploading new versions a lot less scary. :)

In short, do not be afraid of commiting fixes to git, they can be
reverted. :)

> Lets meet on #debian-dkms to coordinate. :)

I'm mostly alone there.  I hope it isn't a good indicator on the level
of interest in helping out with the dkms package in Debian. :)

Happy hacking
