Public bug reported:
AFAIUI tp-smapi-dkms has been designed to have dkms compile and install
tp-smapi modules for every newly installed kernel automatically.
It does great in that job - with a small little exception: the latest kernel
packages do include one of the modules deriving from tp-smapi, but that is not
removed from /lib/modules/$KERNEL-VERSION.
I removed the original file manually and ran depmod -a afterwards, but I guess
quite a number of Thinkpad owners don't know enough about Linux to find out
there are two modules with the same name in the modules tree...

dkms compiles and installs modules fine, but doesn't remove existing modules
