debian/control has for kvm-source:
Enhances: kvm

I believe that this is correct. kvm could be aded the Depends, but I don't think that's so.

This is definitely fixed in jaunty by "|| true" the following in the prerm script:
dkms remove -m $PKG -v $PKGVER --all >/dev/null || true

As far as I can tell, this bug is fixed in Jaunty. I don't believe that an SRU is warranted for Intrepid. However, if you disagree, please talk to the SRU team and propose for release against 8.10 -- the decision will be theirs.

For now, I'm marking this bug 'Fix Released', again.
