Actually, it does work, but in this case it's not the desired behaviour. KERNELRELEASE is defined when the -k option is passed to dkms (it seems so, I might be wrong). What I meant is that trying to build the module for a kernel other than the current (e.g. a new release immediately after an update) will still result in an attempt to build it for the current one.

Strange, i don't have this problem here (3.8.2-1-ck).

Can you explain more why $(shell uname -r) doesn't work if KERNELRELEASE is defined?

The makefile doesn't work with autoinstall after a kernel update. Changing

KRELEASE := $(shell uname -r)

to

ifndef KERNELRELEASE
KRELEASE := $(shell uname -r)
else
KRELEASE := $(KERNELRELEASE)
endif

seems to solve the problem.
