What "fix:" has been released?
As the upsteam maintainer I am not aware of any released support for 3.0 or 
later kernels in blcr.
I am actively working on exactly such support and expect a Beta release of 
blcr-0.8.5 for testing sometime this week.

The only "fix" detailed in this bug report is to REMOVE the blcr-dkms
package, which is NOT a "fix" for the reported problem "blcr kernel
module failed to build...".  Installing Windows 8 "fixes" the problem in
the same manner, but I don't see that as a recommended course of action.

Alan Woodland's release of blcr-0.8.4-3 in Debian is also not a "fix" as
it just drops the blcr-dkms package build from the source package.  The
remaining packages built from the blcr source package now do NOTHING
useful except to satisfy a link dependency from some other packages -
but cannot provide the intended FUNCTIONALITY without the kernel module.
