The fix here breaks installing custom kernels, at least on xenial (dkms (2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11.7) xenial): the redirection of stdout was to there to fix a problem with dkms output contaminating debconf's input - see #292606 for details. To be specific, during package install (either via dpkg or apt-get) I'm now getting the following error from /usr/sbin/update-grub-legacy-ec2 which is run from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/x-grub-legacy-ec2 (after running /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms):

20 Unsupported command "*" (full line was " * dkms: running auto installation service for kernel ...") received from confmodule.
