DKMS 2.0.17 is now available.  Big change is the addition of Ubuntu
7.04 Feisty Fawn support, with new actions 'mkdeb' and 'mkdriverdisk
-d ubuntu'.  Note, 7.04 can't actually load driver disks.  This has
been fixed in Gutsy.  DKMS also recognizes the install, uninstall, or
update of the linux-image and linux-headers deb packages, and invokes
the autoinstaller in these instances, even before reboot.
