Bug#905651: aufs-dkms: does not build with kernel from stretch-backports

[Yoann Ricordel]

Package: aufs-dkms
Version: 4.9+20161219-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When installing Linux kernel and headers version 4.17.0-0.bpo.1-amd64 from the stretch-backports
repository on a Stretch system, and then installing aufs-dkms, the aufs-dkms fails to build with
the following error:

Building initial module for 4.17.0-0.bpo.1-amd64
Error! The dkms.conf for this module includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which
does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.
Skipped.

If not impossible due to bugs, please allow this module to be built for the backported
kernel. Or maybe backporting aufs-dkms is a better option, you will know better than me.

Please note that this is being done from a Docker container, so the automatic information
gathering about the running kernel is a bit irrelevant.

Regards,
