I think it's _D_ell. They invented it, AFAIR. It pre-dates KMPs.

If we want it to be generic, we should pass all parameters from the kernel
scriptlet. But...

If we just care about dkms, we could take weak_modules2 as example. It's run
like this:

  %post (or %posttrans): weak-modules2 --add-kernel "$kernelrelease"-"$flavor"
  %postun: weak-modules2 --remove-kernel "$kernelrelease"-"$flavor"

These arguments should be sufficient for the DKMS script, too. Or not?
