Building the module with akmod could fail due to a problem on your 
system or simply because the kernel modules fail to build with the newer 
kernel, which means that it would fail to build with DKMS with the 
upstream package too. (IIUC akmod and DKMS are two ways to build the 
kernel module(s), different ways but the same end goal).
