[Bug 497149] [NEW] Packages using DKMS should make use of /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst

[Mario Limonciello]

Public bug reported:

Packages in Debian & Ubuntu that are using their own postinstall script
should remove the logic from there and instead use
/usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst .  This script contains sufficient logic
to figure out the correct kernels to build for and accounts for allowing
builds on a buildd (if a package is ever included in a live media
build).

The following sample template is sufficient to use instead:
