Hi I'm trying to package a couple of kernel modules that come with a few userspace clients to interact with them.
I can package the kernel modules via DKMS, and have managed to package the userspace clients by following the Debian New Maintainers' Guide. So I have ended up with a means to create two packages; one for the modules and one for the clients. I'm wondering if a means to package them together exists. The New Maintainers' Guide says nothing about kernel modules, and dkms.conf seems to be designed for modules only, so I'm a little lost on where to even start. Or am I expected to upload them separately? It doesn't make much sense to install the modules but not the clients or vice-versa. A colleague of mine found out that installing the clients in the kernel modules' debian/postint script kind of does the trick, but we agree that this is extremely unlikely to be an elegant solution. I would like to spark minimal controversy when the package is eventually proposed to Debian. (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=883393) If it helps, I don't need to be given the full answer. If someone would point me to an existing package that already does this, I can probably figure it out on my own. Thank you Alberto
