Error in dkms mkdeb documentation

[martingalvan]

The man page for dkms says the following of dkms mkdeb:

It uses a template debian directory found in /etc/dkms/template-dkms-mkdeb as the basis for the package. Alternatively, if DKMS finds a file called /usr/src/<module>-<module-version>/<module>-dkms-mkdeb it will use that folder instead.

That seems to be wrong. The dkms script actually uses "$dkms_tree/$module/$module_version/source/$module-dkms-mk${create_type}". The ${module}-dkms-mkdeb dir should be placed in the source dir (i.e. what gets passed to dkms build --sourcetree).

I presume the same applies for all the other dkms mk* variants.

Distribution specific packaging was severely broken for most distributions and has been dropped in the latest release.
