dkms should offer a way to not load modules during "dkms install"

I have what I think is another rational for this request.

I have a containerized application that includes a kernel module that we use dkms to build and load. Running dkms to build and load our specific module has the unwanted side-effect of loading other unwanted modules. It is very counter-intuitive to call dkms to install a module --- by name --- and have it load other unrelated modules.

It seems like this behavior was introduced to address a use case, that it provides the desired behavior in that use case, but that the same command has other use cases where the "auto load everything" behavior is unwanted. Exposing some option to enable users opt-in/out of that behavior would be tremendously helpful.
