Okay!! Shipping 2 empty directories, build/ and source/, to which we
could hostfs mount the headers path does help in proceed with the build.
It further fails because of the missing Makefiles that are shipped by
the kernel headers package.

root at uml:~# dpkg-reconfigure iscsitarget-dkms

------------------------------
Deleting module version: 1.4.20.2
completely from the DKMS tree.
------------------------------
Done.

Creating symlink /var/lib/dkms/iscsitarget/1.4.20.2/source ->
                 /usr/src/iscsitarget-1.4.20.2

DKMS: add completed.

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...
