So the problem with declaring the package as failed if the DKMS build
failed is that it may actually pass or fail depending on how far along
into the updates you are.

Say you are updating to a new linux-headers with a new ABI at the same
time as installing the NVIDIA package.

Well if the NVIDIA package is processed first, the headers aren't yet
installed, so the package will fail during postinst, but as soon as the
headers are loaded, the kernel postinst runs and the modules get
successfully built.
