We have DKMS in Ubuntu so I don't think this is quite the issue it has
been in the past. Out of kernel modules get recompiled when the kernel
gets updated. This process is pretty much seamless and has worked for
me for things like VirtualBox networking driver and the Nvidia
proprietary video driver.
