The previous DKMS series added versioned provides for the packaged DKMS
packages.  These are applied to the binary packages which carry the
actual binaries, however this makes these direct installation candidates
for those DKMS package which is not ideal.  Move them over to the meta
packages.  This also reduces the likelyhood a breaks clause would be
resolved by uninstalling your kernel binaries.

Pull requests for focal:linux{,-restricted-modules,-meta}-5.4 are at the
bottom of this email.  In large part this reverts off the linux support
as we will deliver this in meta and lrm.

Proposing for focal.
