Title:
  incomplete dkms package dependencies

Status in dkms package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in dkms source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix
Status in dkms source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  "dkms mkdeb" fails with: "make: dh_testdir: Command not found".
  This affects only those users who use dkms to create driver packages. Majority of dkms users only install .deb packages and are not affected by this.

  [Development Fix]
  The packages "dpkg-dev" and "debhelper" were added to the "Suggests" field in debian/control.

  [Stable Fix]
  Install the packages "dpkg-dev" and "debhelper" using apt-get, Synaptic, aptitude, etc.

  [Text Case]
  <fill me in with detailed *instructions* on how to reproduce the bug.  This will be used by people later on to verify the updated package fixes the problem.>

  Broken Behavior:
  Fixed Behavior:

  [Regression Potential]
  The regression potential is minimal because, if it would cause a regression, apt-get would likely know anyway because of the "Breaks" field in debian/control.

  [Original Report] dpkg-dev and debhelper are required when using dkms
  to create a package.
