Hey, the pachage that populates kernel sources in /usr/src isn't needed. You can build your dkms kernel without issues with the two packages that linux-tkg installs

That's indeed the location /usr/src/linux-headers-6.15.4-tkg-eevdf, if you've installed the linux-headers-6.15.4-tkg-eevdf_6.15.4-1_amd64 package

I was wrong, I just didn't remember where Ubuntu puts stuff, and I just looked into where the package above installs things
