[Bug 288743] Re: Use dkms for openafs-modules

Now that openafs 1.4.8.dfsg1-3, which includes all of the necessary
changes, is in Jaunty, only the control file entry for the new openafs-
modules-dkms binary package needs to be uncommented.  (It is commented
in Debian because the Debian dkms package is still in the NEW queue.)
Therefore, I request a FFE for this change.

The attached debdiff bumps the version to 1.4.8.dfsg1-3+ubuntu1, updates
the maintainer to ubuntu-motu, and uncomments openafs-modules-dkms from
debian/control.

(Why -3+ubuntu1 instead of -3ubuntu1?  The openafs-modules-source
package is built with module-assistant and results in a binary package
named openafs-modules-2.6.28-11-generic with version
1.4.8.dfsg1-3+2.6.28-11.38.  As it turns out,
1.4.8.dfsg1-3ubuntu1+2.6.28-11.38 would actually be a lower version.
The Debian maintainer says that -3+ubuntu1 is consistent with the
versioning scheme they use for Debian security updates.)

Risk of regression is very low because this only adds a new binary
package and does not change the existing packages.  The existing
openafs-modules-source package still works with module-assistant as
before, so users who do not choose to install openafs-modules-dkms will
be unaffected.

As soon as the Debian dkms package enters unstable and openafs-modules-
dkms is enabled in Debian, this Ubuntu patch can be dropped.

This package has been built and tested in my PPA.  I verified that the openafs-modules-dkms package works correctly.  Previous versions of it have been tested across kernel and openafs upgrades.

(It is currently rebuilding with the new version number.)
