That is indeed weird.  what does "apt-cache policy dkms" show you?

# apt-cache policy dkms

dkms:

  Installed: (none)

  Candidate: 2.3-2

  Version table:

     2.3-3 -1

        -10 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sid/main amd64 Packages

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

     2.3-2 500

        500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian stretch/main amd64 Packages

what if you "apt install dkms" on its own first, which version do you
get?

# apt install -d dkms

Looks like installing just dkms correctly selects from Stretch, whereas installing as a dependency of wireguard-dkms pulls in the sid version.
