Current modprobe code (and 1.14.x, 1.13.x too) chdir's into
/lib/module/`uname -r`,
so it _should_ (meaning: I did not test it) work ok with modules.dep
with names relative to that directory.

If you can't migrate to 1.13.x, maybe try to copy over modutils/*
or even only modutils/modprobe.c to 1.12.x tree you are stuck with,
and try to make it compile.
