Public bug reported:

The nvidia-185-kernel-source (185.18.36-0ubuntu3) package upgrade
succeeds, even though the DKMS build fails.

I believe the package should not be marked as configured in this case,
especially as otherwise the user will notice the problem only on the
next boot.

Example failure case (due to DKMS bug #438393):
-----------------
Configuring: nvidia-185-kernel-source (185.18.36-0ubuntu3) ...
Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.
Adding Module to DKMS build system
