Hi,

I notice that busybox-udeb provides the following binaries in /sbin:

   depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod

while kmod-udeb provides the same, except located in /usr/sbin.

  depmod insmod lsmod modinfo modprobe rmmod

while kmod-udeb provides the same, except located in /usr/sbin.

It would be better if this were not the case, especially now that D-I is
/usr-merged, so one will presumably get to use whichever of those is unpacked
last.

This suggests to me that the versions from kmod-udeb should be used, and
busybox-udeb should be configured to no longer generate these binaries.

BTW I'm assuming that these binaries only make sense on Linux, so it's that it's
fine that non-linux builds will not have them (kmod-udeb being linux only).

Cheers, Phil.
