As these files are generated by module-init-tools whenever it is run for your kernel, why not solve this using post_* functions? Whenever the kernel gets installed/upgraded, depmod is run from post_install/upgrade. Whenever the kernel is removed, the files created by depmod for this kernel get removed from post_remove. Shouldn't be hard to do, the result is the same and no file conflicts will exist. BTW: Please remove the -v flag from depmod in kernel26.install, it's stupid to make depmod print verbose messages while redirecting output to /dev/null.
