Bug description:
  as found in bug 1164739, the kernel modules that get included into a binary kernel package may be missing dependencies.
  In that bug, someone added 'ceph.ko', but missed the dependency 'libceph.ko'.  The latter was not included, and as a result the former did not work.

  It doesn't seem like this should be a human maintained list without
  the aid of machine dependency resolution.

  Ie, depmod figures this stuff out, we should insert dependencies in
  automatically, or fail a kernel build on missing dependencies.
