Alright, after doing a full scan of the (currently) broken dkms in jammy
with linux 6.2, this is the list of those that I've found that are still
not part of the dkms group (and they should be):

 librem-ec-acpi-dkms
 r8125-dkms
 rtl8812au-dkms
 vpoll-dkms
 xtrx-dkms

The affected releases are all >= Jammy.

Like a mentioned in my previous email, IMHO all the packages that have
dkms as a dependency should be assigned to the 'dkms' group, including
dkms itself (that should be considered like a kernel component, similar
to a kernel Makefile or an in-tree kernel build script).

This would allow to speed-up the fix of all these build errors when we
need to promote a new kernel, especially with backport kernels.
