Description:

Upstream dkms has a destination override for distributions but not Arch. I have proposed a PR upstream for that. Please consider pulling it into our package.

This provides better separation between pre-build kernel modules and dkms ones - similar to how we place pre-build out-of-tree modules in extramodules.

Apart from the clarity it provides, it also allows you to have the build/ and kernel/ folders (modules, headers, docs) as read-only.

Note: for this to work, my other bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72342 should be addressed as well.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
dkms 2.8.6-2

* link to upstream bug report, if any
https://github.com/dell/dkms/pull/159
