Bug Description

If a dkms package prohibits some architectures or kernel versions (e.g. using BUILD_EXCLUSIVE_(KERNEL|ARCH) ), it may happen that the module can't be compiled for the current (or newest) kernel. Right now, dpkg will fail and leave the package in Failed-Config state. IMO a failed build should not influence the success of the package installation.

The attached patch does just that. It takes note of the return value of 'dkms build' and continues with the next kernel.
