Hi,

attached you can find an overhaul of the package installation that also
fixes the missing version.h

Having the Debian revision included in the dkms module version is very
unusual, now this only uses the upstream version.

The Vcs-* URLs in the package point to an empty repository ... otherwise
you could have gotten a MR with a sequence of commits.
