Is anyone actively looking at this? I uploaded a patch, it just needs to be tested and merged.

However, since the control file wasn't properly set up, the .deb file will have the 'all' suffix and dkms mkdeb will fail. This bug is also present in Ubuntu. I added a patch to the original Debian bug report, here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=832558 but since the original bug report was made about a year ago and nobody cared, I'm hoping that someone will at least fix this for Ubuntu.
