Go ahead and run the .run package, and you'll see that it indeed does
support DKMS, and the dkms.conf file is identical to the those in
Ubuntu. So yes, the Ubuntu nvidia packages are mostly direct from
Nvidia.

That doesn't rule out other problems in Ubuntu, of course. This bug
could actually be an issue with the DKMS tool, with the Nvidia-provided
Makefile or dkms.conf, or with the Ubuntu-modified kernel itself. I'd
lean toward one of the first two, and not the third. The kernel is not
developed for DKMS, but DKMS is developed for the kernel.

For those who complained about the most recent kernel updates being
related: the original report (and several reproductions of it) came
before 3.13-0-44. So the large number of recent issues are likely
coincidental, or exacerbated by some other still-unknown issue.
