Package: kmod
Version: 18-3
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

   * What led up to the situation?

Linux 3.18.0 comes with native support for xz compressed modules. I like rolling
my own kernels and I need to use modules for some things. Compression allows me
to drop the size of a kernel's modules dir by 2/3rds. This is nice as I like to
have a few fallback kernels around, just in case.

Also nice for Debian released kernels as the modules for that wind up being huge
on-disk.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

depmod -a

   * What was the outcome of this action?

No module dependency lists generated.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Module dependency list to be generated and xz compressed modules able to be 
used.
