yes I stumbled upon this too... Unfortunately dkms has removed support for distro-specific actions in the latest releases. I'd be also interested to know how to fix this.

Angry rtrded devs like breaking GNU/Linux experience. I can not to explain why they like to break userspace. They break and remove everything, and then give no solution to users. So, now, what we supposed to do or use instead?

@vitacell in my case I solved by using this PPA https://launchpad.net/~greg-whiteley/+archive/ubuntu/facetimehd

Hey, thanks, will try. Because after every Ubuntu update/bugdate, I have to reinstall Broadblob Facetimehd crap manually.
