What I found in the packaging:
 - dkms (2.0.17.2-1) unstable; urgency=low should rather be dkms (2.0.17.2-0ubuntu1) gutsy; urgency=low
 - add a (LP: #121676) to the changelog, so the bug gets closed automatically (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClosingBugsFromChangelog)

lintian warnings:
W: dkms source: debian-rules-ignores-make-clean-error line 48
N:
N: A rule in the debian/rules file for this package calls the package's
N: clean or distclean target with a line like:
N:
N: -$(MAKE) distclean
N:
N: The leading - tells make to ignore all errors. Normally this is done
N: for packages using Autoconf since Makefile may not exist. However,
N: this line ignores all other error messages, not just the missing
N: Makefile error. It's better to use:
N:
N: [ ! -f Makefile ] || $(MAKE) distclean
N:
N: so that other error messages from the clean or distclean rule will
N: still be caught.
N:
W: dkms: script-not-executable ./etc/dkms/template-dkms-mkdeb/debian/postinst
N:
N: This file starts with the #! sequence that marks interpreted scripts,
N: but it is not executable.
