This bug was fixed in the package dkms - 2.3-3ubuntu11.1

---------------
dkms (2.3-3ubuntu11.1) cosmic; urgency=medium

  * Do not invoke dkms_autoinstaller from /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d/dkms
    with redirection to /dev/null (LP: #1827697), this caused debconf dialog
    to not be shown.

** Changed in: dkms (Ubuntu Disco)
       Status: Fix Committed => Fix Released

  Enroll key whiptail prompt blocks kernel header package upgrades

Bug description:
  I noticed that sometimes the system upgrade is blocked in the kernel
  header package's configure phase, in the process manager I found that
  it is blocked by the "Configuring Secure Boot" whiptail prompt started
  by `update-secureboot-policy --enroll-key` which doesn't surface to
  the terminal and hence not interactable.

  Refer the attached screenshot for the process status at the time.

  [Test Case]
  1. Install any out-of-tree dkms packages (like bbswitch-dkms)
  2. Un-enroll keys from MOK, ensure `mokutil --test-key /var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der` command returns "/var/lib/shim-signed/mok/MOK.der is not enrolled"
  3. Ensure SecureBoot is enabled
  4. Install any linux-headers-${version}-generic packages that is currently not installed, verify if it stucks at configurating state

  [Regression potential]
  Since this change will cause the output of dkms_autoinstaller to appear in the output of the kernel installs, this may surprise consumers of the dpkg log with its verbosity.
