Title:
  Header check ignore --kernelsourcedir

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Xenial:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 16.04/Xenial the dkms command (2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7) ignores
  the provided kernel source directory and then fails by not finding the
  headers.

  This was fixed upstream in 2.2.0.3-5 and landed in 18.04/Bionic.
  Proposing to backport the additional line of code into Xenial.

  +    [ ! -z "$ksourcedir_fromcli" ] && DIR=$kernel_source_dir

  Testcase:
  Trying to compile any DKMS module with kernel source (headers) in a non-standard location (/usr/src) will fail with an error reporting missing headers without the change, even using --kernelsourcedir. With the patch applied, this works.
