<br>
I have really little knowledge in dkms, even if I try to maintain virtualbox-*-dkms packages<br>
<br>
Unfortunately Ubuntu started requiring signed kernel modules for xenial (I think), and this is<br>
preventing many packages from correctly working (including virtualbox)<br>

do you plan to implement something in dkms side for module signature?<br>

I am happy to report that this worked just fine for<br>

Please join the dkms project on<br>
<URL: <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-dkms" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-dkms</a> > and the mailing lists<br>

to help out, and we continue on the mailing list.<br>
<br>
There are heaps of bugs in BTS, lots of patches from Ubuntu and several<br>
missing features in the dkms package (like an autopkgtest and a build<br>
time testsuite) which would be nice to have to make maintenance<br>
easier. Enough for everyone to chip in. :)<br>
<br>
Lets meet on #debian-dkms to coordinate. :)<br>

Happy hacking<br>
