Description:
When updating / or installing just nvidia-lts the following error message is printed:

No kernel extramodules-4.9-lts headers. You must install them to use DKMS!

Inside 70-dkms-install.hook there is the target usr/lib/modules/*/kernel/ that trig the update.

But this error message can be filtered for kernel name stating with extramodules-

Additional info:
* package version(s)
dkms 2.4.0-1

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S nvidia-lts
