Hi Marco,

Problem is Debian dkms (v2.3) seems to be an old fork of github/dell
dkms (v2.5). Support for mkbmdeb comes from a patch in the Debian
package but does not exist upstream. As a result my patch is not so
relevant for upstream.

Do you know if the current Debian patches were already proposed to
upstream ? Do you know the roadmap for a possible merge from upstream
(bump Debian package version to 2.5) ?

Last be not least, since I do not have all the test cases in mind, I'd
be glad to get a review from the Debian maintainers before sending upstream.


Thanks,
Best regards,
Pierre
