MISSING : prerm function - Needed for DKMS packages and some others.

Is your feature related to a problem? Please describe.

Cannot use dkms remove for dkms packages

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

I need the possibility to use pre_remove() function as it is the normal way to do

Describe alternatives you've considered

I use this tweak in prepare() but it's bad :

variables for DKMS remove are not setted if I use $DKMS_NAME so need to write in hard. Don't know why

#fix prerm script

sudo mkdir -p "${pkgdir}/DEBIAN/"
    echo "set -e

DKMS_NAME=nvidia
DKMS_PACKAGE_NAME=$DKMS_NAME-dkms
DKMS_VERSION=545.29.06

dkms remove -m nvidia -v 545.29.06 --all || true" | sudo tee ${pkgdir}/DEBIAN/prerm
sudo chmod +x ${pkgdir}/DEBIAN/prerm

Additional context

I am packaging Nvidia-driver for Debian, from the .run

I have other DKMS to package.

For the momment, keep them in tests in my own repository.
