During a kernel package upgrade, if DKMS tries to compile zfs-linux before spl-linux, then this happens:

Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms 3.2.0-23-generic /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic
configure: error:
        *** Cannot determine the version of the spl source.
        *** Please prepare the spl source before running this script
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.2.0-23-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/zfs/0.6.0.58/build/make.log for more information.

This error is spurious because DKMS eventually retries zfs-linux after spl-linux is ready and the installation succeeds. Squelching the error message is likely the best near-term solution for this incarnation of the SPL dependency bug.

Potential far-term solutions are bundling spl-linux into zfs-linux or adding the notion of dependencies to DKMS.

Improve the SPL version error for DKMS systems.

During kernel package upgrades, if DKMS tries to build the ZFS
modules before the SPL module, then the operator gets an error
message that does not apply to installations that are mananged by
DKMS. Change the error message to fit apt-get systems.

A better solution would be to implement a dependency model in DKMS,
or to bundle SPL into the ZFS package.
