a) rpm triggers are evil (per the LSB).  I could let that go, but...
b) triggers don't tell you the version number of the thing just
installed that triggered you.  So we'd have to 'dkms_autoinstall' for
every kernel in /lib/modules/.
c) you aren't guaranteed that triggers happen when you need them -
e.g. after both kernel and kernel-devel are installed.  %posttrans does.
