That has to do with building kernel modules that aren't part of the
standard driver set (e.g. the spca5xx module for some web cameras).
Don't worry about it.

I'd expect so.

Right. However, the aic79xx driver is part of the standard driver set
and you don't need dkms to manage it for you.

The only issues I have with that arrangement (and they're purely
personal) are:
1. I hate using filesystem labels. They can bite you if you add another
drive to the machine with data on it.
2. Everything is on / except boot. I much prefer to have separate
partitions for /, /usr, /home and /var--ideally on lvm so they can be
grown if needed.
